Claude Report — 2026-06-16
- Claude Code v2.1.178 ships `Tool(param:value)` parameter-based permission rules and nearest-directory `.claude/` resolution — the most impactful permission-system expansion since allow/deny lists launched
- Two new official plugins land on June 15: boltz (biomolecular design via Boltz-2 API) and lovable (Lovable app platform via OAuth 2.1 MCP)
- ClaudeForFoundationModels v0.1.2 adds partial-snapshot streaming for Apple-platform apps (iOS/macOS/iPadOS/visionOS 27)
- claude-code-action v1.0.149 patches a shell-quote bug that silently collapsed `Bash(X:\*)` glob rules to bare `Bash`
- Community system-prompt tracker shows v2.1.178 cut ~21,000 tokens from Claude Code's internal system prompt — the steepest single-version drop on record
🚀 Anthropic Official
Claude Code v2.1.178
Released June 15. Introduces Tool(param:value) syntax so permission rules can now match on specific tool input parameters with * wildcard support (e.g., Agent(model:opus) blocks Opus subagents, Bash(cmd:rm) denies rm invocations); nearest-.claude/ directory wins on skill/agent/workflow name collisions and project-scope workflow saves target the closest .claude/workflows/; auto mode now routes each subagent spawn through the safety classifier before launch; /doctor gets a consistent flat tree layout with clearer status icons; fixes include an fd-exhaustion crash from stale WebSocket/OAuth environment variables, silent Chrome OAuth connect failure on account mismatch, and vim-mode undo (now steps one command at a time instead of replaying the full buffer).
ClaudeForFoundationModels v0.1.2
Released June 15. Adds partial-snapshot delivery during streaming responses — Apple-platform apps on iOS 27, macOS 27, iPadOS 27, and visionOS 27 now receive incremental Claude output as it generates rather than buffering to completion; previous versions delivered only the final complete result.
🔌 Claude Code Plugins
boltz — new addition
Adds protein structure prediction, molecule screening, and binder design via the Boltz-2 compute API — the first biomolecular-design plugin in the official catalog, callable directly from Claude Code without leaving the terminal.
lovable — new addition
Integrates Lovable's official OAuth 2.1 remote MCP server; exposes focused commands for building, iterating, deploying, and managing Lovable apps from within Claude Code, with safeguards against accidental credit spend or premature publication.

claude-code-system-prompts — v2.1.178 update
Updated June 16 to track v2.1.178; records a −20,964 token reduction in Claude Code's aggregate system-prompt token count — the largest single-version trim in the project's 211-version history — pointing to significant internal prompt restructuring or consolidation in v2.1.178.

🤖 Agents & Subagents
claude-code-action v1.0.149
Released June 15. Fixes shell-quote collapsing unquoted Bash(X:\*) permission rules to bare Bash (breaking all glob-based tool restrictions in CI); separately aligns the MCP allowed-tools parser with the SDK option parser so MCP server tool lists no longer diverge from settings.
claude-agent-sdk-python v0.2.102
Released June 15. Bundles Claude CLI v2.1.178; no additional API-level changes — consumers get all auto-mode classifier and subagent crash fixes from that CLI release automatically on upgrade.
