In-Depth Technical Analysis

Background

Long coding-agent sessions fail on stacked permissions, resume drops after parallel tools, and credential leaks in MCP errors. 2.1.286 hardens those paths after 2.1.285’s desktop/plugin work.

What shipped

[v2.1.286](https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/releases/tag/v2.1.286): stacked permission counts; resume/continue keep post-parallel turns; non-text tool/hook returns fixed; same-tier model retry; Remote Control policy disconnect; broader secret redaction; Agent SDK TS 0.3.286 / Python 0.2.163 parity.

Benchmarks
