Claude Code v2.1.181 adds prompt-time /config commands, macOS sandbox controls, and Apple Events support

What's new

• Apple Events support — Claude Code can drive native macOS apps (Mail, Calendar, Finder…)
• Faster paragraph streaming, smoother core experience
• Companion v2.1.183 (June 19) blocks destructive git commands in Auto Mode and improves deprecation warnings
