September 21, 2026AGENTS.md Support, Server-Side Auto Mode, and Skill Sync

August 31, 2026Restricted Mode, a Larger Context Ceiling, and the Pentagon Ruling
Claude Code now offers a restricted mode that removes every tool capable of running commands or fetching remote content, making it practical to point Claude at an untrusted repository.
