Claude Code 2.1.260 introduces a live `/diff` panel beside the conversation in fullscreen showing uncommitted edits as Claude works, a text-form `/advisor` command usable from the Agent SDK and Remote Control, `/reload-plugins` in headless/SDK sessions, prompt-cache miss diagnostics in `/cost`, plus many fixes to permission rules, subagent messaging, rewind, MCP server startup, and Fable 5.1 model routing.

capability delta

An agent can now watch its own uncommitted edits live via a `/diff` side panel, hot-reload plugins in headless SDK sessions, toggle `/advisor` from Remote Control/SDK, and see why prompt-cache misses happened via `/cost` diagnostics.

curator note

Point release: main net-new capabilities are the fullscreen `/diff` side panel, headless `/reload-plugins` and text-form `/advisor` (both reach Agent SDK), and prompt-cache miss diagnostics; rest is bug fixes and permission hardening.
