Claude Code v2.1.132 (May 6) adds CLAUDE_CODE_SESSION_ID env var for Bash subprocesses and CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_ALTERNATE_SCREEN opt-out flag. Critical fixes: external SIGINT handling for IDE stop buttons, blank screen after laptop sleep or Ctrl+Z/fg, unbounded memory growth from non-protocol MCP server output, and Bedrock/Vertex 400 errors with prompt caching. Companion v2.1.131 fixed VS Code extension activation on Windows and Mantle endpoint authentication.

Why it matters

The MCP memory-growth fix and Bedrock/Vertex prompt-caching fix directly unblock enterprise deployments; the SIGINT and fullscreen fixes resolve long-standing terminal workflow pain points.
