Claude Code 2.1.235: Aspell in Your Terminal, Fewer Cache Invalidations
Claude Code 2.1.235 adds an optional prompt-input spellchecker using aspell, hunspell, or ispell, and fixes whole-prompt-cache invalidation when a language server drops mid-session.
What it is
The latest patch release of Anthropic's Claude Code CLI, following 2.1.234.
What it does
It underlines misspelled words in the prompt input as you type using whichever local spellchecker (aspell, hunspell, or ispell) is installed, fixes a whole-prompt-cache invalidation bug tied to language-server disconnects, and corrects nested markdown list alignment and multi-line prompt highlight offsets in the terminal UI.
Why it matters
The cache invalidation fix matters more than the spellcheck: a language server hiccup silently blowing away your prompt cache mid-session was quietly costing money and latency on every long session.
How to use it
Update Claude Code to 2.1.235 and enable the spellcheck setting if you have aspell, hunspell, or ispell installed; the cache and rendering fixes apply automatically.
