• Agent subagent_type matching is now case- and separator-insensitive. "Code Reviewer" resolves to code-reviewer, so you can stop worrying about exact casing or separator format in agent type names.
• Settings hot-reload symlink regression fixed. 2.1.139 added symlink detection but introduced misattributed change events; if you symlink settings files, spurious ConfigChange hooks should stop (more below).
• /goal no longer hangs when hooks are disabled. With disableAllHooks or allowManagedHooksOnly set, it now shows a clear message instead of an indicator that never resolves.

New in 2.1.140

2.1.140 (May 13, 2026)

• Improved Agent tool subagent_type matching to accept case- and separator-insensitive values (e.g. "Code Reviewer" resolves to code-reviewer)
• Updated agent color palette
• Fixed /goal silently hanging when disableAllHooks or allowManagedHooksOnly is set, now shows a clear message instead of an indicator that never resolves
• Fixed a regression in settings hot-reload where symlinked settings files caused misattributed change events and spurious ConfigChange hooks
• Fixed claude --bg failing with "connection dropped mid-request" when the background service was about to idle-exit
• Fixed background service startup failing on machines with enterprise endpoint security by allowing more time
• Fixed remote managed settings not retrying on 401, now retries once with a force-refreshed token
• Fixed managed extraKnownMarketplaces auto-update policy not being persisted to known_marketplaces.json
• Fixed /loop scheduling redundant wakeups to poll for background tasks that already notify on completion
• Fixed a recurring event-loop stall on Windows when a missing executable (e.g. gh) triggered synchronous where.exe re-spawns on every check
• Fixed Read tool calls failing validation when offset is passed as a whitespace-padded or +-prefixed string
• Plugins now warn when a default component folder (e.g. commands/) is silently ignored because plugin.json sets the matching key. Shown in /doctor, claude plugin list, and /plugin.
