The one thing

Claude Code stable is still on 2.1.231 — nine releases behind latest, missing two billing fixes.

npm @anthropic-ai/claude-code dist-tags this morning: stable → 2.1.231, latest/next → 2.1.241.¹ 2.1.239 (21 Aug) fixed Bedrock behind proxies that strip response Content-Type: every turn silently re-ran non-streaming and doubled the bill.² 2.1.237 fixed prompt caching through LLM gateways / custom base URLs.³ Both are above stable.

Docs: stable is typically about a week behind; Homebrew claude-code tracks stable, claude-code@latest tracks latest; package-manager installs do not auto-update.⁴ Native latest already has the fixes.

VERDICT · USE IT — On Bedrock or a gateway: install ≥2.1.239 (or set minimumVersion 2.1.239 on stable). Confirm with claude --version. Others can wait for stable.

Deeper — install paths

Native default is latest with background auto-update.⁴
Homebrew: brew upgrade claude-code@latest for the billing line.⁴
2.1.240–241 are reliability-only after 2.1.239.⁵

Cline 4.1.14–15 · catalog refresh + MCP auto-approve fix

4.1.14 refreshes the built-in model catalog (Fable 5, Grok 4.6 Vertex, DeepSeek V4 Flash variants, Qwen3.8 27B, more) and restores interactive task-completion telemetry broken after 4.1.11.⁶ 4.1.15: "Use MCP servers" now auto-approves every MCP tool on its own — it previously only hit tools also opted in individually.⁷ Via the SDK bundle.

The conversation

The claim — including ours

The pin today is which Claude Code channel you run; Cline fixed a dead MCP toggle.¹⁷

Our take

Check your Claude Code channel before Bedrock/gateway batch jobs. Take Cline 4.1.15 if MCP auto-approve never fired.

GitHub: 28 watchlist repos, 3 non-prerelease in-window (Codex 0.149.1 empty; Cline 4.1.14–15). Vendor feeds: 12 sources, sweep_complete true, 2 open incidents. X accounts (~95) and X keyword digests 05:30 UTC 23 Aug (~24.5h old) — background. Reddit: fresh pulse (6 subs); 23 Aug digest had zero primary posts. HN: Ox Alpha outside window. arXiv not swept. No issues 22–23 Aug after #014.

Codex rust-v0.149.1. Empty changelog vs 0.149.0.

Ox Alpha stealth free preview. Listed 20 Aug; anonymous; retention unclear. Outside window.

Claude Code v2.1.240–241. Reliability-only. Decision is the channel.
