Claude Code v2.1.179 Ships Mid-Stream Connection Recovery — Partial Responses Now Preserved Instead of Erroring Out

Releasebot·medium signal

First seen June 17, v2.1.179 fixes a long-standing failure mode where a dropped streaming connection discarded the entire in-flight response and showed a raw error; partial output is now preserved on reconnect. It also resolves Linux sandbox glob performance, a WSL2/Windows Terminal mouse-wheel scrolling regression, and a feedback survey bug that logged single-digit replies as session ratings. For builders running long autonomous sessions, the streaming-recovery fix directly reduces lost work on flaky networks.
