Story

The latest Claude Code release adds /remote-control in VSCode to bridge an active session to claude.ai/code — continue working from a browser or phone without losing context. Also ships AI-generated session titles, --console flag for Anthropic Console API billing auth, and a critical fix for claude -p hanging when spawned as a Python subprocess without explicit stdin. Memory usage reduced ~18MB across all scenarios. If you're running headless Claude Code in CI/CD, upgrade immediately for the subprocess fix. Releasebot
