In-Depth Technical Analysis

Background

Enterprise Claude Code users hit friction on wide-terminal prose, Chrome under exclusive managed-mcp.json, and --continue/--resume dropping extended thinking or hitting redacted_thinking 400s. v2.1.282 addresses those with settings plus targeted fixes.

Architecture

maxProseWidth caps prose while tables/code stay full width. allowClaudeInChromeWithManagedMcp lets claude --chrome run with exclusive managed MCP. store.readiness_grace_seconds keeps Apps Gateway /readyz ready through short Postgres outages. Resume/continue paths reduce rewritten history and dropped thinking; invalid redacted_thinking data triggers drop-and-retry; refused compaction retries on a fallback model.

Benchmarks

No SWE-bench numbers in this point release. Verified: GitHub v2.1.282 at 2026-09-24T18:38:05Z; npm latest 2.1.282. Changelog notes faster resume for very large sessions without published timings.

Get started

npm i -g @anthropic-ai/[email protected], set maxProseWidth / allowClaudeInChromeWithManagedMcp as needed, and use claude doctor for telemetry setting notices.
