Claude Code 2.1.228 hardens synced skills against command shadowing

Version 2.1.228, released Aug 11, hardens skills synced from claude.ai so they can no longer shadow local commands or MCP prompts; their descriptions are now sanitized and labeled, and on your machine their bodies can't run `!` shell commands or expand `@` files. The same 18-change release fixes interactive sessions that could freeze mid-redraw after a rare layout error, git/Git Bash not being found on Windows when Claude Code launches from a parent folder of the git install, `/tui` reverting to an earlier model after a `/model` change, and cross-session messaging sometimes starting without an inbox after install or upgrade — plus it lets newer models overwrite a file they haven't read this session, matching the Edit tool's rules, and removes an outdated notice about auto mode costing more.

Compliance API now covers Cowork and Claude Code sessions

In beta for Claude Enterprise, the Compliance API now extends beyond claude.ai chat to Cowork (desktop, web, mobile) and Claude Code (CLI, desktop app) sessions running on users' own machines. New endpoints return consolidated transcripts — prompts, responses, tool activity, timestamps — via the existing Compliance Access Key; current API users need no separate integration. The beta excludes Claude Code on web, via the Claude Platform, and sessions on Bedrock, Vertex AI, or Microsoft Foundry.
