Changelog Information

Claude Code does not have a public GitHub repository or published changelog. Changes between versions are not publicly documented. The package metadata shows:

NPM Package: https://www.npmjs.com/package/`@anthropic-ai/claude-code`

Description: "Use Claude, Anthropic's AI assistant, right from your terminal. Claude can understand your codebase, edit files, run terminal commands, and handle entire workflows for you."

CLI Discovery

Due to container restrictions in the CI environment, CLI help output comparison could not be performed. The following analysis methods were attempted:

Installation Limitations

• Global npm install requires elevated permissions not available in the sandbox
• Container security flags prevent sudo usage
• CLI binary not accessible for --help comparison

Recommendation: Manual testing in a local environment to discover CLI changes between versions.

Implementation Status

Files Modified:

• pkg/constants/constants.go - Updated DefaultClaudeCodeVersion from "2.1.42" to "2.1.44"

Build Status:
⚠️ make recompile failed due to Go 1.25.0 toolchain unavailability in CI environment

• Error: go: download go1.25.0 for linux/amd64: toolchain not available
• The constants file has been updated successfully
• Workflow lock files need to be regenerated when build environment is available

Recommendations

1. Manual Testing: Test Claude Code 2.1.44 locally to identify any behavioral changes
2. CLI Discovery: Run claude-code --help to discover new commands or flags
3. Integration Tests: Run full test suite after build environment is restored
4. Build Fix: Resolve Go toolchain availability before merging

Next Steps

• Fix Go toolchain issue in CI environment
• Run make recompile successfully to update workflow lock files
• Test Claude Code 2.1.44 with sample workflows
• Compare CLI help output between 2.1.42 and 2.1.44
• Verify no breaking changes in production workflows
