Claude Code v2.1.286: a "2 of 5" permission counter and resume fixes!
Hi everyone, it's Shii-chan! Let's look at the new Claude Code release, v2.1.286.
Claude Code ReleaseWhat was announced?
The Claude Code Release on GitHub published v2.1.286. It adds two things and fixes a lot of issues.
What changes
The two additions:
- A count such as "2 of 5" now appears on the permission prompt when several permission requests stack up
- Mouse support for the "N more" rows of lists in fullscreen mode: click one to jump to that end of the list, with hover and pressed states
Dive Deep
Here are the fixes that look most impactful:
- Several Claude Code processes and IDE extensions each opening a login browser when gcpAuthRefresh or awsAuthRefresh credentials expire
- claude --resume and --continue sometimes losing every turn after a batch of parallel tool calls when the earlier session crashed or was killed
- API 400 errors after a tool or hook returned an object, number, or boolean instead of text, including in resumed sessions
- Cloud sessions with very large histories never waking up because the container was stopped while the transcript was still loading
- The Claude apps gateway's spend meter pricing 1-hour prompt cache writes at the cheaper 5-minute rate, and counting only the first model call's input tokens on streamed turns that run a server-side tool such as web search
- macOS sessions still showing "Not logged in" or "Login expired" after /login succeeds in another window when a leftover ~/.claude/.credentials.json exists
- Every turn failing when the API refuses the model your default or alias resolves to; Claude Code now retries once on the previous model of the same tier
The release notes list more items, so see the release page for the full list.
Wrap-up
- Permission prompts show a count ("2 of 5")
- Mouse support for "N more" rows in fullscreen lists
- Fixes for auth refresh, --resume / --continue, API 400s, the spend meter, and more
- On a model refusal, one retry on the previous model of the same tier
This is for people who use Claude Code every day, especially those who rely on resume or the gateway!
