Claude Code version 2.1.265 introduces several functional updates alongside a large number of stability improvements. Key additions include support for pointing `--plugin-dir` at a folder of plugins to load them dynamically, and the inclusion of `user.email` and `user.groups` in telemetry sent through the Claude apps gateway.
- Added a 1 GB cap on tool results saved to disk with preview indicators for truncated files.
- Fixed issues with prompt-cache reuse when resuming foreground-spawned subagents or agent teammates.
- Resolved plugin path bypasses of symlink containment checks on macOS and Linux.
- Improved `--worktree` startup on large repositories by checking out the new worktree in parallel.
- Updated image processing to use the runtime's built-in support instead of extracting a native module.
- Added automatic archiving of inactive sessions in VS Code, with a default period of 14 days.
These changes enhance plugin management flexibility, telemetry accuracy, and overall session stability for users.
