Claude Code v2.1.206: /doctor Trims CLAUDE.md, /commit-push-pr Auto-Allow Git Push, Background Agent Upgrade

Anthropic shipped Claude Code v2.1.206 with a stack of quality-of-life improvements and critical fixes for MCP servers, background agents, and git integrations.

New Features

• /cd path suggestions: The /cd command now shows directory path completions, matching /add-dir behavior.
• /doctor trim proposal: A new check suggests cutting content from checked-in CLAUDE.md files that Claude can derive directly from the codebase.
• /commit-push-pr auto-allow git push: Now automatically allows git push to the repo's configured push remote (remote.pushDefault, or the sole remote when only one is configured) in addition to origin.
• Gateway /login: Now supports Anthropic-operated public gateway endpoints.
• EnterWorktree confirmation: Prompts before entering a git worktree outside .claude/worktrees/.
• Background agent upgrade: Background agents now upgrade in the background immediately after a Claude Code update, avoiding the slow stale-session upgrade on attach.

Fixes

• Expired login error message — now properly prompts for /login instead of showing There's an issue with the selected model.
• claude --resume / --continue — keyboard input now works on startup.
• MCP request_timeout_ms — per-server timeout settings from --mcp-config or .mcp.json are now respected; long-running MCP tool calls no longer time out at the 60s default in fresh sessions.
• CLAUDE_CODE_EXTRA_BODY — now correctly passed to claude agents / --bg background workers.
• OAuth MCP servers — no longer require manual re-authentication after a single failed token refresh.
• --permission-prompt-tool — no longer crashes with MCP tool not found on cold start before the server connects.
• /model picker — fixed rows showing wrong price, stopped quoting first-party list prices on providers that don't bill them, and fixed misplaced server-provided rows when entitlement/allowlist restrictions drop a reference row.
• Desktop sessions — no longer stuck showing running after mid-turn slash commands.
• Windows agents view — keyboard input no longer ignored when a setup prompt appears before bare claude --resume.
• claude rm — now properly removes the job from the daemon roster; deleted jobs stay deleted.
• /remote-control — now explains how to sign in instead of showing Unknown command when logged out.
• Left arrow — now steps back out of a phase or agent in the workflow detail view.
• /status — no longer lists the same broken-install warning twice.
• LSP plugins — false disused plugin tips and skewed telemetry fixed.
• /doctor update check — for Homebrew installs, now compares against the cask's channel instead of the settings channel.
• Fullscreen jump-to-bottom pill — fixed Ctrl+End suggestion on macOS, rebound chords now show, and the pill no longer wraps over the transcript.
• Bedrock — fixed multi-minute startup hang when using awsCredentialExport helper on networks with restricted egress.

Improvements

• /code-review — findings quality improved on claude-opus-4-8 across all effort levels.
• Agents view status column — now uses full terminal width instead of truncating at 64 characters.
• Ctrl+X in agents view permanently removes a completed session; deleted background jobs stay deleted. Sessions no longer render twice.
