Claude Code 2.1.142: `claude agents` Gains Session Flags, Fast Mode Defaults to Opus 4.7, MCP Tool Timeout Honored

Claude Code 2.1.142 (May 14, 2026) added eight dispatch flags to `claude agents`, moved fast mode's default from Opus 4.6 to Opus 4.7, and made `MCP_TOOL_TIMEOUT` lift the 60-second cap on remote MCP servers. The flags and timeout fix stand; fast mode now defaults to Opus 5.5 (v2.1.280 and later) at $8/$40 per MTok.
