CLAUDE CODE 2.1.237 SHIPS CONCISE OUTPUT STYLE AND CRITICAL GIT AUTH FIX

By RepoJournal · Filed · About Anthropic

Claude Code just got a built-in 'Concise' output style and a long-awaited fix for actions/checkout credential leakage, and one of them is a security patch you should grab before your next CI run.

Claude Code v2.1.237 lands a new built-in 'Concise' output style that the release notes say lets Claude "lead[] with results and skip[] preamble and narration" [1], plus a prompt caching fix for LLM gateway users [1]. But the real headline is in claude-code-action: v1.0.197 fixes a credential leak where configureGitAuth() failed to neutralize the actions/checkout auth header because it edited only the local config, not the separate RUNNER_TEMP file pulled in via include.path [2][3]. This bug, which shipped with actions/checkout v6.0.0 and backports, means CI jobs using Claude Code could expose GitHub tokens to untrusted repos. The fix also landed in v1.0.196 with unified secret redaction in public comments [4]. Meanwhile, v2.1.236 introduced ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_MODEL and sandbox wildcard read-deny precedence [5], and claude-agent-sdk-python bumped to v0.2.142, bundling CLI 2.1.237 [6]. If you use claude-code-action with actions/checkout v4.3.1 or later, update now.
