Claude Code 2.1.207: auto mode default on cloud providers, plugin shell-injection fix, Opus 4.8 default
Auto mode no longer needs the CLAUDE_CODE_ENABLE_AUTO_MODE opt-in on Bedrock, Vertex AI, and Foundry, and those providers now default to Claude Opus 4.8. Several config surfaces stop honoring repo-resident settings, and plugin hooks/monitors reject ${user_config.*} inside shell-form commands as a shell-injection fix — both change working setups.

- Auto mode enabled by default on Bedrock, Vertex AI, Foundry; turn off with
disableAutoMode - Auto mode no longer reads
autoModefrom repo-resident.claude/settings.local.json; move it to~/.claude/settings.json - Plugin hooks, monitors, and MCP
headersHelperreject${user_config.*}in shell-form commands; use exec form (args),$CLAUDE_PLUGIN_OPTION_<KEY>, or read the value inside the script - Plugin option values (
pluginConfigs) no longer read from project-level.claude/settings.json— user,--settings, and managed settings only - Bedrock, Vertex, and Claude Platform on AWS default to Claude Opus 4.8
- Security: remote managed settings from non-interactive runs (
claude -p, SDK) were recorded as consented without ever showing the consent dialog - Fixed terminal freezing/keystroke lag while streaming long lists, tables, or code blocks
- Fixed the auto-updater clobbering a custom launcher or symlink at
~/.local/bin/claude;/doctornow reports externally managed launchers - Fixed
extensions.worktreeConfigleft in.git/configafter the last sparse-path worktree was removed (broke go-git tools liketea) - Fixed an agent-teams crash loop on a malformed teammate mailbox message
- Fixed Bedrock re-requesting AWS SSO credentials on every API request, and an indefinite Windows hang when AWS credential resolution stalls
- Fixed Remote Control losing task status across reconnects and not showing background agent/workflow progress from desktop-hosted sessions
/usage-creditsnow rejects malformed amounts instead of stripping them to digits; amounts over $1,000 need typed confirmation
