`Claude Code` `v2.1.117` improves subagents, plugins, and startup flow

Forked subagents, --agent MCP loading, and plugin dependency handling all got sharper in one release. Daily CLI use gets faster and less brittle, so this update is worth taking now.

[ KEY POINTS ]
  1. External builds can now enable forked subagents with CLAUDE_CODE_FORK_SUBAGENT=1, and --agent now loads frontmatter mcpServers in main-thread sessions too.
  2. Startup is quicker when local and claude.ai MCP servers coexist because concurrent connect is now the default; macOS/Linux native builds also swap Glob/Grep for embedded bfs and ugrep.
  3. Plugin flows are less fragile: reinstalling fills missing dependencies, marketplace add auto-resolves them, and blocked or strict marketplaces are enforced across install, update, refresh, and autoupdate.
  4. /resume now offers stale-session summarization before rereading large histories, while /model selections persist across restarts even if the project pins another model.
  5. Several annoying failures are gone, including expired OAuth sessions, large WebFetch hangs, proxy 204 crashes, broken NO_PROXY under Bun, and serial MCP reconnects in reload_plugins.
