Claude Code v2.1.146: /code-review Command, Pagination Fix, Windows PowerShell Fix
Claude Code v2.1.146 is out with a handful of practical fixes and one notable rename: /simplify is now /code-review with an optional effort level parameter (e.g., /code-review high). The release also addresses several Windows-specific bugs and improves pagination handling for MCP servers.
Key Changes
- Renamed command:
/simplify→/code-review. Now accepts an optional effort level likehighto control depth of analysis. - Auto mode fix: No longer suppresses
AskUserQuestionwhen the user or a skill explicitly relies on it. - Windows PowerShell fix: Resolved a regression from v2.1.124 where the tool failed with "command line is invalid" when
pwshis installed via winget or the Microsoft Store. - MCP pagination fix: Calls to
resources/list,resources/templates/list, andprompts/listnow correctly return items past page 1 on paginating servers. - Windows Terminal strobing fix: Full-screen strobing in attached background sessions while Claude is streaming is fixed.
- Auto-updater reliability: Native version checks and downloads now retry transient network failures instead of failing immediately.
- Diff rendering performance: Improved for large file edits.
- Various session and tool fixes:
/backgroundno longer refuses sessions with only typed input of a skill or custom slash command; backgrounded sessions no longer re-prompt for tool permissions already granted with "don't ask again";/themecolor editor and "New custom theme" dialogs now respond to Esc. - Agent SDK fix: Fixed an uncaught exception at the end of streaming sessions when running via the Agent SDK.
- Managed settings enforcement:
forceLoginOrgUUIDandforceLoginMethodpolicies now enforced against third-party-provider and API-key sessions. - GNOME Terminal paste fix: Right-click and middle-click paste now inserts text.
- Subagent model forwarding:
CLAUDE_CODE_SUBAGENT_MODELis now forwarded to child processes in multi-agent sessions.
For developers relying on MCP servers with paginated responses, the pagination fix alone is worth the upgrade. The /code-review rename aligns with the broader trend in AI coding tools toward explicit review commands with configurable depth.
