Anthropic released Claude Code 2.1.290 on October 5 with fixes for permission enforcement and scheduled tasks.

The update repairs checks after a PreToolUse hook changes a tool request. It also stops plan mode from automatically approving connector actions that can change external state when the server requires confirmation.

Task recovery has an important limit

Scheduled tasks can now survive conversation compaction on resume, but only for compactions made with this version onward. Separate repairs address missed tasks after background handoffs and unwanted repeated runs.

WebFetch now reports unread text beyond 100,000 characters and supports continuation. The matching TypeScript Agent SDK 0.3.290 adds the offset field.

These are vendor reported fixes. ByteForward has not independently tested them.

Teams should test their own approval rules and scheduled tasks before relying on the update.

For background, ByteForward covered the previous Claude Code update and managed controls.

Jordan Reid is focused on AI tools, agents, developer products, and the way technology changes everyday work. Jordan approaches a launch from the user’s side of the screen. What can it actually help someone finish? The voice is practical, conversational, and skeptical of products that turn a simple job into five new settings. Coverage follows coding assistants, creative software, browser agents, and the workflows around them, with attention to pricing, permissions, setup, and the human work that remains.
