Claude Code 2.1.128 Is an Ops Release, Not a Feature Drop
Claude Code 2.1.128 is full of small fixes around MCP, worktrees, OTEL, plugins, and permissions. That is exactly why it matters for teams running agents every day.

Agent Swarms Need Receipts
GitHub is filling with multi-agent frameworks, skills, and coding harnesses. The useful lesson is not that every team needs a swarm. It is that every agent needs receipts: tests, logs, diffs, and reviewable checkpoints.

Approval Fatigue Is an Agent Security Bug
Manual approval prompts stop protecting users when coding agents ask too often. The better pattern is risk-aware autonomy: safe defaults, narrow deny rules, and approvals only for meaningful changes.

Long-Running Agents Need Harnesses, Not Hope
A long-running coding agent is only useful if the environment around it can queue tasks, capture logs, checkpoint state, verify behavior, limit cost, and recover from failure.
