1. Claude Code (Anthropic)

Latest: v2.1.160 (June 2, 2026) — released today!

Security Hardening (v2.1.160)

  • Shell startup file protection — Prompts before writing to .bashrc, .zshrc, .profile etc. to prevent unintended command execution
  • Build-tool config guard — /edit mode now prompts before writing files like Makefile, Vite.config, webpack.config, next.config that grant code execution
  • /edit UX improvement — No longer requires a separate Read after viewing a file; single-file /view + /edit commands satisfy the read-before-edit check

Bug Fixes (v2.1.160)

  • Fixed WSL clipboard copy-on-select (now uses PowerShell interop instead of OSC 52)
  • Fixed session restoration from history dropping chat history and re-running original prompt
  • Fixed background sessions losing conversation on overnight retire
  • Fixed /agents "socket missing" on cold-start under load
  • Fixed Windows background session directory locking
  • Fixed Esc/arrow keys unresponsive on Windows under heavy CPU load
  • Fixed background agent terminal sync markers causing render artifacts
  • Fixed mouse wheel scrolling prompt history instead of transcript
  • Fixed CJK IME composition positioning in agent view
  • Fixed voice mode failing with non-ASCII project/branch names
  • Fixed ultracode being offered on models that don't support xhigh

2. OpenAI Codex CLI

Latest: v0.136.0 (June 2, 2026) — released today!

New Features

  • Archived sessions — TUI (:archive) and CLI (codex session archive) to protect sessions from resume/fork until restored
  • Improved app-server integrations — Resume threads with initial turns page, richer MCP server status, stdio mode launch
  • Remote execution improvements — SSH registration for approved OpenAI hosts; remote-control websockets use short-lived server tokens instead of ChatGPT access tokens
  • Windows admin provisioning — Alpha codex provisioner path with requirements support for allowed sandbox implementations
  • Image generation extension — Feature-gated standalone extension running through native Codex image artifact pipeline
  • TUI markdown links — Now clickable via OSC 8 metadata; cramped tables switch to key/value records

Security & Bug Fixes

  • ChatGPT auth refreshes tokens 5 min before expiry; better error for reused refresh tokens
  • Command-safety hardening: prevents repository Git helpers/hooks from running, rejects browser-origin exec-server websockets
  • Sandboxed command cleanup on interruptions; read rules enforced for bypass paths

3. OpenCode (anomalyco/opencode)

Latest: v1.15.13 (June 1, 2026)

Core

  • Adaptive reasoning fix — Gateway with Opus 4.7+ now keeps summarized thinking instead of returning empty thinking blocks
  • Session metadata — Sessions can now store custom metadata through the API and SDK
  • Config loading — Now loads from opened location upward, so directory-specific settings and provider policies apply more predictably

TUI

  • Inline tool rows stay aligned; failed inline tools can expand error details in place
