Update: Claude Code 2.1.221 adds Focus view to hide tool clutter
One keystroke collapses every tool call behind a per-turn summary; the same release also tightens Bash/PowerShell permission checks and steadies MCP servers.

Focus view, one keystroke
Ctrl+Alt+F hides all tool activity behind an expandable per-turn summary, so a long agent run reads like a conversation instead of a wall of bash and edit logs. Toggle it back the same way when you need the detail.
Bash and PowerShell checks, tightened
The same 2.1.221 release hardens permission checks for Bash and PowerShell commands — the piece the earlier credential-masking note skipped. Fewer shell calls slip through on a blanket auto-approve.
Extended thinking and MCP, steadier
Extended-thinking bugs are fixed and MCP-server plus file-operation handling is more stable, cutting the mid-session drops that can force a restart on long tasks.
