Source: CHANGELOG.md — v2.1.141.

Hook terminalSequence output. Hook JSON output now accepts a terminalSequence field, so hooks can emit desktop notifications, window-title updates, and bells without owning a TTY. Lets daemonized and headless hooks signal completion or attention.

CLAUDE_CODE_PLUGIN_PREFER_HTTPS. Set this env var to clone GitHub plugin sources over HTTPS instead of SSH. Useful for CI runners, locked-down corporate laptops, and dev containers without an SSH key.

ANTHROPIC_WORKSPACE_ID for WIF. Workload identity federation rules can cover more than one workspace. Setting ANTHROPIC_WORKSPACE_ID scopes the minted federated token to a specific workspace — one federation rule at the org level, per-workspace blast radius at runtime.

claude agents --cwd. New flag scopes the agent session list to a working directory. Helps when you have many sessions across many repos. Pairs well with a shell alias per project.

Rewind: Summarize up to here. Rewind always threw away everything after a chosen turn. The new action compresses everything before the chosen turn, leaving recent turns intact — useful for long debugging sessions where early diagnostic context is heavy but recent fix attempts still matter.

Not in this episode: 50+ bug fixes including Bedrock cross-account auth export, MCP config diagnostics, Remote Control token rotation, and many small UX fixes.
