Claude Code CLI 2.1.293 is out with 56 changes. Highlights: default Haiku switched to Claude Haiku 5.5 with 1M context, allowing larger prompts at lower per-token cost; a fix to context-compaction action ordering so completed work is no longer retracted or redone; and backgrounding with ← now preserves queued messages, reporting why when a message can't be moved.
