Claude Code v2.1.218: /code-review moves to a background subagent
The Claude Code v2.1.218 patch is out. From the GitHub changelog:
• /code-review now runs as a background subagent, so reviews stay out of your conversation and keep targeting queued slash commands • On Windows, a bug that corrupted paths with segments like C:\Users\unicorn is fixed. The \u sequence was turning into garbled characters and making files inaccessible. • Pressing the left arrow right after an edit now asks for confirmation, and Esc in agent mode drops you back to the collapsed conversation • claude mcp list and /mcp now surface the HTTP status and error text when a server connection fails
Screen reader mode now speaks deleted text when you remove words and lines (Option+Delete, Ctrl+W, Cmd+Backspace, Ctrl+U, Ctrl+K).
