Claude Code v2.1.142 introduces full command-line configuration for background agents through new flags including --model, --effort, --permission-mode, and --mcp-config, allowing users to customize model selection, effort levels, permission modes, and MCP configurations before sessions start; the update also upgrades fast mode to Opus 4.7 by default (with an environment variable to pin to 4.6) and fixes a macOS issue where background sessions would vanish after sleep by having the daemon detect clock jumps instead of treating them as idle time.
