Claude Haiku 5.5 now default, with subagent type tracking and tool registration improvements
Claude Haiku 5.5 is now the default Haiku model on the Anthropic API with 1M context and updated pricing. Added agentType to subagent payloads for type identification and isDeferred parameter for tool schema visibility control. Reverted previous auto mode denial behavior and cloud session sleep fixes, adjusted skill syncing intervals, and improved logging performance for MCP resources and agents.
Added
- Added Claude Haiku 5.5 (
claude-haiku-5-5), now the default Haiku model on the Anthropic API — 1M context, $0.10/$0.50 per Mtok ($0.50/$2.50 for prompts over 100K) - Added
agentTypeto thesubagentStatusLinepayload, so scripts can tell custom subagent types apart - Added
isDeferredto$.tool.registerfor mods:falselists the tool's schema in the prompt from the start instead of behind tool search
Changed
- Reverted the auto mode denial message change from 2.1.281 that told Claude a denial covers the outcome, not only the exact command
- Reverted the 2.1.290 fix for cloud sessions staying asleep after a container restart lost a pending
/loopwakeup or scheduled task; Claude is no longer told, and the session stays asleep - Changed claude.ai skill syncing to check for changes about every 40 minutes, instead of every 10, while no session is in use
- Changed the order of agent lists and of MCP servers announced to the model: names with non-ASCII characters now sort after ASCII names
- Changed OpenTelemetry
claude_code.at_mentionlogging to emit at most 100 agent and 100 MCP-resource events each time a prompt is read - Self-hosted runner: Changed the orchestrator to sleep 4 to 6 seconds between polls instead of a constant 5, so several replicas for one environment stop polling at the same moment
- [Claude Tag] Changed Claude in Slack to join announcement channels, where only admins can post, without posting its intro
- [Claude Tag] Changed the limit on channel rules in Claude Tag admin settings from 20 to 50 for each workspace and for the organization-wide Slack page
