 # Changelog
 
+## 2.1.228
+
+- Fixed interactive sessions that could stop redrawing entirely, while the process kept running, after a rare internal layout error
+- Fixed `git` / Git Bash not being found on Windows when Claude Code is launched from a parent folder of the git installation
+- Fixed `/tui` reverting the session to an earlier model when `/model` had been changed since the last response
+- Fixed cross-session messaging sometimes starting without an inbox in the first session after install or upgrade
+- Fixed Remote Control `/resume` while connected leaking the resumed conversation's title or history into the connected session
+- Fixed `claude self-hosted-runner` sessions failing on every fresh runner when the `checkout` hook fails for a repository the session doesn't push to; that repository is now skipped with a warning
+- Fixed self-hosted runners ending sessions in the gap between a background task finishing and the follow-up turn starting
+- Fixed session cleanup deleting contents inside a project's memory folder
+- Fixed background plugin-cache cleanup deleting a plugin's cache when its only version is a symlinked development checkout
+- Fixed a settings-merge issue where a marketplace entry redefined in a higher-precedence settings tier could inherit another tier's custom headers; marketplace entries now merge as whole entries
+- Fixed the deferred-tools reminder occasionally being sent to the model twice after a skill invocation
+- Hardened skills synced from claude.ai: they no longer shadow local commands or MCP prompts, their descriptions are sanitized and labeled, and on your machine their bodies don't run `!` commands or expand `@` files
+- Improved cross-session messages: the sender and body now display inline instead of a collapsed line, and messages to Remote Control sessions on other machines show your Remote Control session name as the sender
+- Improved Vertex AI credential handling: expired or missing Google Cloud credentials now fail within seconds instead of retrying for minutes
+- Improved compaction progress: the retry countdown and stall hint now appear during compaction instead of only a progress bar
+- Updated terminal title busy-spinner glyphs to reduce tab-bar jitter on some terminals
+- Changed the Write tool so newer models can overwrite an existing file they haven't read this session, matching the Edit tool's rules; older models still require the read first
+- Removed the outdated note about auto mode sessions costing slightly more from the first-use notice for Pro, Max, and Team plans
+
 ## 2.1.227
 
 - Fixed feature flags being evaluated without the user's subscription tier when a session started with an expired login token, which could wrongly prompt Max plan users to enable usage credits for Fable
