$ git checkout v2.1.218

context: fork
background: false

$ claude mcp list

• ›Accepts yes/no/on/off/1/0 (case-insensitive) as valid boolean values for skill and plugin frontmatter, alongside true/false.
• ›Skills with context: fork now run in the background by default; opt out per skill with background: false in frontmatter.
• ›Agent markdown files now reject agent names containing : (reserved for plugin namespacing).
• ›Adds HTTP status and error text to claude mcp list and /mcp output when a server fails to connect, plus a warning for MCP config values with hidden leading or trailing whitespace.
• ›Changes /code-review to run as a background subagent, keeping stacked slash commands as its review target without filling the active conversation.
