Claude Code v2.1.161 → v2.1.162: agents --json waitingFor + Windows/MCP fixes #351

Description

@claude-yolo

WHY users should care

30-item release focused on observability and correctness:

claude agents --json now exposes waitingFor — you can programmatically detect when a background session is blocked on a permission prompt instead of guessing why it's stuck.

Other fixes that matter:

  • 🔥 Windows backslash paths now match permission rules (was silently failing)
  • MCP sub-1000ms timeouts no longer abort every tool call (regression fix)
  • LSP workspaceSymbol actually works now (was returning empty)
  • Quieter startup — severity-grouped notices instead of walls of text
  • Windsurf → Devin Desktop rebrand in /ide menu
