Claude Code 2.1.269 ships with a gateway discovery timeout override, a hard cap on concurrent workflow agents, and a fix for deny rules that were silently applying beyond their config source. Each one changes how operators govern Claude Code at scale.
Since 2.1.265, every turn through a third-party Anthropic-compatible endpoint failed with HTTP 400. Version 2.1.268 fixes it and adds gatewayInternalNetworks CIDR policy, pricing sync to gateway.yaml, and byte-stable prompt caches for Bedrock, Vertex, and Foundry.
Three operator-facing changes land in 2.1.267: a new maxEffortLevel cap across Bedrock, Vertex, and Foundry; a flag to stop prompt-snapshot reuse during iteration; and a marketplace containment bypass fix. Plus twelve prompt-cache stability improvements.
Fable 5.1 prompt caching silently excluded post-tool-result context, re-sending it uncached on every tool-call turn. Claude Code 2.1.260 fixes it — along with cache-miss diagnostics, a Read() permission revert, and a managed CLAUDE.md governance change.
Claude Code 2.1.243 adds modelPicker, promptCacheTtl, and modelPricing — three managed settings that let gateway operators lock the model menu, tune cache TTLs per agent tier, and replace list-price cost figures with contracted rates.
