Summary

Claude Code v2.1.246 adds an Auto mode tab to /permissions and fixes background-session startup, MCP interruption reporting, plugin handling, large-session safety checks and third-party gateway credential handling. TypeScript Agent SDK v0.3.246 adds user_message_uuid correlation, costBasis and managed modelPricing metadata, plus perTaskStopAffordance so interrupt() can stop the current turn without stopping background agents and workflows.

Why it matters

The changes target operational gaps that make autonomous coding sessions hard to observe, price and stop safely.
