Claude Code v2.1.170 Adds Fable 5 Selection and Ships 'Agent View' Multi-Session Manager

Claude Code Docs·high signal

Claude Code v2.1.170 (June 9, 2026) makes Fable 5 selectable as a tier above Opus and surfaces Agent View — a single CLI surface to start agents, background them, peek at status/last responses, and jump back only when input is needed. It also fixed VS Code integrated-terminal sessions not saving transcripts (breaking --resume). Agent View turns the CLI into a control plane for parallel sessions rather than a single chat.
