CLAUDE AGENT SDK FIXES STDIN CLOSURE BUG IN BACKGROUND TASKS

By RepoJournal · Filed · About Anthropic · Composed from the cited sources · methodology

The Python SDK's query method was prematurely closing stdin when background subagents were still in flight, breaking tool calls and silently bypassing hooks - now fixed in v0.2.127.

Claude Agent SDK v0.2.127 ships a critical fix for stdin handling in background tasks [1], addressing a bug where closing stdin too early caused SDK-MCP tool calls from background subagents to fail with stream closure errors and skip PreToolUse hooks. The fix keeps stdin open until all in-flight tasks complete and the final result frame arrives [1]. Both the Agent SDK and Claude Code are rolling forward together: v0.2.128 bundles the latest Claude CLI v2.1.220 [2], while Claude Code v2.1.219 introduces Claude Opus 5 as the default Opus model with 1M context and adds a new sandbox network allowlist setting for stricter host controls [3]. The Claude Code Action and its base syncs now track both Claude Code and Agent SDK bumps, keeping all three components in lockstep [4][5].
