Claude Code 2.1.116 speeds up sessions

Anthropic's agentic CLI tool receives a major update with 67% faster session resumption and critical security hardening. The release streamlines the terminal experience with inline thinking progress and expanded keyboard protocol support for power users.

// ANALYSIS

Claude Code 2.1.116 is a high-impact "polish and power" update that makes the agent significantly more viable for large-scale enterprise codebases.

–Faster /resume (up to 67%) on 40MB+ sessions directly addresses the primary performance bottleneck for developers working on monolithic or high-activity repositories.
–Sandbox security hardening ensures the agent no longer bypasses danger checks for 'rm' on critical directories like / or $HOME, reflecting Anthropic's commitment to safety in autonomous workflows.
–UI refinements including inline thinking progress and deferred MCP loading reduce terminal jitter and startup latency for a snappier developer experience.
–Fixes for Indic script rendering and Kitty keyboard protocol support expand accessibility and reliability across diverse terminal environments.
