[Release] anthropics/claude-code v2.1.136: v2.1.136

Claude Code v2.1.136 is a maintenance release focused on stability and bug fixes across multiple platforms. Key improvements include fixes for MCP server persistence, OAuth token handling, extended thinking compatibility, and numerous UI/UX refinements in the VS Code extension and JetBrains plugin. The release addresses critical issues with file picker matching, dialog rendering, terminal output formatting, and plugin management while enhancing visual consistency and keyboard navigation.

Key Points

• •MCP servers no longer disappear after `/clear` command in VS Code, JetBrains, and Agent SDK — configuration persistence improved
• •Fixed concurrent MCP OAuth refresh token loss — users with multiple remote servers no longer require daily re-authentication
• •Resolved rare login loop caused by concurrent credential writes overwriting freshly-rotated OAuth tokens
• •Extended thinking now compatible with redacted thinking blocks after tool calls — API 400 errors eliminated
• •File picker (`@` mention) now matches files created mid-session and handles directories with 100+ entries
• •Plan mode correctly blocks file writes when matching `Edit(...)` allow rules exist
• •WSL2 image paste from Windows clipboard now works via PowerShell fallback when xclip/wl-paste unavailable
• •Added `CLAUDE_CODE_ENABLE_FEEDBACK_SURVEY_FOR_OTEL` for enterprise OpenTelemetry session quality surveys
• •Added `settings.autoMode.hard_deny` classifier rule for unconditional auto-mode blocking regardless of user intent
• •Standardized slash command dialog UI with consistent footer hints, spacing, arrow-key styling, and immediate frame appearance during loading
