What was announced?

According to the Claude Code Release notes, v2.1.235 just shipped. It's an update that bundles a new setting along with a batch of small bug fixes.

The story so far

Until now, Claude Code didn't check your prompt for typos as you typed it. On top of that, a handful of small issues lingered around cache handling, terminal UI rendering, and permission dialog behavior.

What changes

Typos are now easier to catch while you type, and several small display glitches and potential misclicks are fixed. If you use Claude Code every day, this is the kind of update that quietly removes little bits of friction.

Dive Deep

The headline feature is an optional spellcheck setting. Using whichever of aspell, hunspell, or ispell you have installed, it underlines misspelled words in your prompt input as you type.

There's a long list of bug fixes too:

  • Fixed whole-prompt-cache invalidation when a language server disconnected or reconnected mid-session
  • Fixed nested Markdown list items misaligning at depth 3+, and added a hanging indent to wrapped list lines
  • Fixed prompt input highlights (slash commands, keywords, mentions) appearing shifted by one or more characters in multi-line prompts
  • Fixed Shift+Tab inside the permission prompt's comment field approving the edit and granting session-wide edit permission instead of just closing the field
  • Fixed slash commands run while Claude is responding showing raw HTML entities instead of the actual characters
  • Fixed the prompt footer not showing the "Update installed" restart notice after a background auto-update
  • Fixed the expanded task list (Ctrl+T) always starting collapsed when resuming or relaunching a session that still had open tasks
  • Fixed notebook cell delete/replace approval dialogs silently omitting existing cell content when the notebook or cell couldn't be read — the dialog now explains why
  • Fixed the Agent tool advertising a generic default in sessions where it isn't available; an omitted subagent_type now shows a clear error listing the available agents instead
  • Improved memory and CPU usage while cloud sessions such as /ultrareview or /autofix-pr run in the background

Wrap-up

  • Claude Code v2.1.235 shipped with a new optional spellcheck setting
  • It fixes a long list of small bugs around cache invalidation, Markdown rendering, highlight alignment, and permission dialogs
  • Memory and CPU usage for background cloud sessions also improved
  • A solid update if you use Claude Code daily and have been quietly annoyed by any of these small issues!
