Claude Code 2.1.202-204 improves workflows and remote reliability

Claude Code 2.1.202 added a setting for the usual size of , with small, medium, and large options for how many Claude should generally create. The setting is guidance, not a hard limit. Workflow-created agents now include `workflow.run_id` and `workflow.name` in telemetry, so a full workflow run can be pieced together later from recorded activity.

Most of the fixes are about preventing real work from getting interrupted or lost. Claude Code fixed crashes in history search, renamed reverting after restart, commands failing, images or files from mobile or web being dropped, wrapped SSH login links becoming hard to click, and chats entering a crash-and-restart loop. The following 2.1.203 and 2.1.204 updates continued the same theme with login-expiry warnings, a clearer manual badge, fixes for slow macOS background session switching, and a headless-session hook issue that could leave remote workers idle long enough to be stopped.

Separate user reports also show that specific model choices, such as with 1M context, may stop working even when the coding tool itself is otherwise improving.

Key points

  • size can now guide Claude toward small, medium, or large numbers of .
  • Workflow telemetry now includes IDs and names that make past runs easier to reconstruct.
  • fixes reduce failed commands and dropped files or images from mobile or web.
  • Background session fixes target renamed sessions, slow macOS switching, login expiry, and crash loops.
  • Model availability can still change, as shown by reports about with 1M context.
