What's changed

• Changed AskUserQuestion dialogs to no longer auto-continue by default; opt into an idle timeout via /config
• Changed the "default" permission mode to "Manual" across the CLI, --help, VS Code, and JetBrains; --permission-mode manual and "defaultMode": "manual" are accepted alongside default
• Fixed a crash at startup when disabledMcpServers or enabledMcpServers in .claude.json is set to a non-array value
• Fixed background sessions silently stopping mid-turn after sleep/wake or when reopening a stalled session
• Fixed background sessions re-running a turn cancelled with Esc after a stall respawn
• Fixed background agents never starting again after a crash left a stale daemon.lock whose PID the OS reused
• Fixed background-agent daemon handover so a reinstalled older build can no longer take over the daemon; build recency is now judged by the version's embedded build timestamp
• Fixed background-agent roster issues: transient corruption permanently disabling orphan cleanup, older binaries not preserving fields written by newer versions, and socket auth tokens being stripped during daemon restarts
• Fixed subagents cut off by a rate limit before producing any text output returning an empty result instead of failing cleanly
• Fixed control bytes from background-agent output reaching the terminal in the agent view
• Fixed claude agents --plugin-dir <dir> not showing the plugin's agents and skills in the agent view when the flag is placed after agents
• Fixed project-scoped plugins not loading correctly from git worktrees of the same repository
• Fixed /mcp server list not tracking focus for screen readers and magnifiers
• Fixed voice dictation showing a misleading "Voice connection failed" message when a recording captures no audio
• Fixed rendering flicker under tmux 3.4+ by enabling synchronized terminal output
• Improved screen-reader output: decorative glyphs are now hidden, transcript symbols read as short labels, and nested tables read as Header: value. lines
• Improved the install script to explain when installation is killed by the system running out of memory
