Claude Code 2.1.200-205: manual mode default, login expiry warnings, and agent stability

What's new

• Manual mode (v2.1.200): Default permission mode changed to Manual, grey ⏸ badge in footer shows active mode
• Login expiry warnings (v2.1.203): Warning before login expiry so background sessions aren't interrupted
• Agent stability (v2.1.202-203): Fixed macOS background session stalls, Windows PATH inheritance, daemon issues
• Anti-tampering rule (v2.1.205): Auto mode rule blocks tampering with session transcript files
• Memory reduction (v2.1.205): Auto-update memory reduced by ~400 MB via streaming binary downloads to disk
• Dynamic workflows (v2.1.202): Added dynamic workflow sizing controls and enhanced telemetry

Why it matters

Switching to manual mode as default is an important change for teams deploying Claude Code in production environments wanting greater control. Login expiry warnings are critical for long-running agent sessions.

How to try it

Update Claude Code to the latest version via claude update. Manual mode is now active by default — the grey ⏸ badge in the footer confirms this.
