Claude Code v2.1.311

Added --hold-idle-file and --max-hold-min to self-hosted-runner, to keep an idle session while your host reports processes it left running. Added a tip for the Explanatory output style, shown when you ask Claude for explanations. Fixed long freezes at startup and after reading or editing files when a CLAUDE.md file holds a very long list item. Fixed interrupting Claude not taking effect until a timeout while an MCP server had not answered a resource read or a skill was still downloading. Fixed standard-context sessions stopping with "Usage credits required for 1M context" when a request ran over 200K tokens; Claude Code now compacts the conversation and continues.
