Claude Code v2.1.221 adds sandbox mask mode
The v2.1.221 release of Claude Code adds support for mask mode within its sandbox environment on Linux and WSL2. By adding .env files to the sandbox credentials configuration, executing commands and tools automatically read fake values instead of real sensitive secrets.
Secret masking in sandboxed CLI coding environments is a crucial step toward safe autonomous developer workflows.
- –Prevents accidental exposure of live API keys and credentials during automated agent execution.
- –Enables seamless local testing by injecting mocked values into environment configurations.
- –Currently restricted to Linux and WSL2, leaving macOS and native Windows users awaiting wider platform support.
