Claude Code v2.1.157: Opus 4.8 default, dynamic workflows, security-guidance plugin #999

Description

@claude-yolo

WHY this matters

Three actually interesting things shipped:

Opus 4.8 is now the default model — if you haven't upgraded, you're now automatically getting the best model. No config change needed.

Dynamic workflows orchestrate hundreds of subagents — the workflow harness can now self-pace and spawn agents at runtime rather than needing a fixed DAG upfront.

Security-guidance plugin reviews code for vulns — first-class security review baked into the plugin system.

Also: fast mode on Opus 4.8 at $10/$50/MTok, auto mode on Pro plan with Sonnet 4.6.

What to do

If you're on a team using Claude Code at scale, the dynamic workflows change is worth reading. The security plugin is worth enabling if you're not already running security review passes.
