[Release] anthropics/claude-code v2.1.140: v2.1.140

Claude Code v2.1.140 releases multiple bug fixes and improvements focused on agent tool matching, background service reliability, settings management, and terminal behavior. Key enhancements include case-insensitive subagent type matching, fixed `/goal` command hanging issues, improved background service startup on enterprise networks, and resolved event-loop stalls on Windows. The release also addresses validation issues with the Read tool and improves plugin diagnostics.

Key Points

• •Subagent type matching now accepts case- and separator-insensitive values (e.g., 'Code Reviewer' → 'code-reviewer')
• •Fixed `/goal` command silently hanging when `disableAllHooks` or `allowManagedHooksOnly` is set — now displays clear error messages
• •Resolved background service connection drops during idle-exit by improving request handling
• •Extended background service startup timeout to support enterprise endpoint security software
• •Fixed symlinked settings files causing misattributed change events and spurious ConfigChange hooks
• •Remote managed settings now retry once with force-refreshed token on 401 errors
• •Fixed managed `extraKnownMarketplaces` auto-update policy persistence to `known_marketplaces.json`
• •Eliminated redundant wakeup scheduling in `/loop` for background tasks that already notify on completion
• •Resolved Windows event-loop stalls caused by synchronous `where.exe` re-spawns for missing executables
• •Fixed Read tool validation to accept whitespace-padded and `+`-prefixed offset strings
