Claude Code 2.1.169

2.1.168→2.1.169·June 13, 2026 at 4:58 AM UTC

Patch release adding safe mode, a new GitHub MCP tool, an additional keybinding, and refinements to agent prompts and session handling.

Changelog

  • [new] Added --safe-mode flag (and corresponding CLAUDE_CODE_SAFE_MODE environment variable) that saves settings edits without loading them until safe mode is disabled.
  • [new] Added mcp__github__get MCP tool.
  • [new] Added meta+story keybinding.
  • [changed] Refined multiple built-in prompts covering agent spawning rules, focus mode behavior, memory updates, refusal handling, and context management instructions.

Models & prompts

Prompt updates emphasize writing teammate-oriented summaries, avoiding unnecessary agent delegation, respecting explicit user action names for consent, and handling focus mode output visibility. Additional guidance was added around safe mode interactions and design system syncing workflows.

Under the hood

New environment variables were added for background session auth (CLAUDE_BG_*), session persistence forcing, MCP framing, bundled skills disabling, user dialog timeouts, and web fetch proxy behavior. Two new API beta headers (fallback-credit-2026-06-09, server-side-fallback-2026-06-01) were introduced alongside a new security advisories route.

Upgrade notes

Users relying on settings edits or custom permission rules should verify behavior when running with --safe-mode enabled.
