Claude Code 2.1.136 nears release

The real signal is how aggressively Anthropic is iterating: Claude Code is becoming a living product line, not a one-off launch.

• –Recent releases have mixed feature additions like auto mode and faster model or permission flows with smaller stability fixes, so this is likely another maintenance-heavy drop.
• –For developers, that cadence matters more than the version number: it usually means fewer rough edges in the terminal agent and more confidence using it in daily work.
• –Claude Code already sits in the center of Anthropic’s developer stack, so steady updates reinforce lock-in across terminal, IDE, and GitHub workflows.
• –If you’re tracking it for teams, wait for the changelog before upgrading blindly; point releases in fast-moving agent tools can change permissions, model defaults, or behavior.
