Claude Code 2.1.303 propagates across the action, base action, and Python SDK

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

A single CLI release, 2.1.303, moved through all three of Anthropic's automation surfaces in one day, so the GitHub Actions wrappers and the bundled Python SDK binary now agree on the version they run.

chore: bump Claude Code to 2.1.303 and Agent SDK to 0.3.303 anthropics/claude-code-action

by GitHub Actions

The GitHub Action moved its Claude Code pin to 2.1.303 and its Agent SDK pin to 0.3.303, which is the source-most change of the day: anything pinning this action by SHA picks up a newer CLI and SDK on upgrade. No behavior detail accompanies the bump, so treat it as a version alignment rather than a feature drop.

Sync from claude-code-action base-action@5eb090f anthropics/claude-code-base-action

by GitHub Actions

The base action was regenerated as a sync of the same upstream commit, carrying the 2.1.303 and 0.3.303 pins into the layer that workflow authors reference directly. Since the two repositories are no longer out of step, a workflow that pins one and resolves the other will not straddle versions.

chore: bump bundled CLI version to 2.1.303 anthropics/claude-agent-sdk-python

by GitHub Actions

The Python SDK raised its bundled CLI to 2.1.303, so agents built on this package now invoke the same binary the GitHub Actions ship. If you vendor the CLI separately, that pin is where the mismatch will show.

chore: Update CHANGELOG.md and feed.xml anthropics/claude-code

by GitHub Actions

The CHANGELOG.md and feed.xml regeneration landed the same day, which is the routine bookkeeping pass that accompanies a release. Nothing in this story describes user-facing code changes beyond the version itself.
