Claude Code Action shipped three critical fixes overnight that stop wasted API calls on doomed requests, collapse malformed branch names, and enforce max-turn limits the SDK was silently exceeding.

The retry logic in commit and delete operations was burning 3 seconds of backoff on deterministic failures like 400 and 409 responses that can never succeed, even though the code labeled them non-retryable [1]. Separately, branch name templates containing variables that resolve to empty strings now collapse consecutive slashes instead of crashing the run [2]. A more serious problem: the Agent SDK was silently accepting results that reported more turns than configured, so a regression in the SDK or CLI could pass a green action without warning [3]. The base action also dropped stale documentation for removed inputs like `allowed_tools` and `system_prompt` that GitHub Actions was silently ignoring [4]. Both Agent SDKs shipped paired releases: Python bumped to 0.2.134 and TypeScript to 0.3.226, both syncing to Claude CLI 2.1.226 [5], [6]. The TypeScript 0.3.225 release also fixed background subagents that were never resuming when shell commands or monitors completed [7]. The plugin marketplace added three new integrations: Credible for workspace analysis, Cala for due diligence data, and Meticulous for QA [8], [9], [10].
