Claude Code 2.1.299 adds idle compaction for 200K+ token sessions before cache expiry and fixes sandboxed writes into --plugin-dir
Anthropic released Claude Code 2.1.299 on Oct 14. A new default compacts a 200K+ token terminal conversation after about 54 idle minutes, before its one-hour prompt cache expires, so the next message doesn't reprocess everything; tune it with CLAUDE_CODE_IDLE_COMPACT_MIN_TOKENS or turn it off with "idleCompaction": false. The release also fixes sandboxed shell commands being able to write into a --plugin-dir folder whose code Claude Code reloads outside the sandbox, and adds --disallow-tools to claude plugin eval.
