My Claude Agent component version was 2.1.81, it prompted me for an update the other day from the original release version 2.1.59.

But now that I've installed Xcode 26.4.1 it's back to thinking 2.1.59 is the newest version.

With every Xcode release it feels like there's a new regression or weird surprise with coding intelligence (26.4 was Claude losing its OAuth token every 8 hours or so). It really feels like this stuff needs more eyes on it.

Totally agree, and it's too frustrating.

Somehow this reminds me of how Apple introduced TextKit 2 with tons of bugs and feature limitations, then silently dropped supporting it or even talking about it—now TextKit 2 is in some sort of limbo and looks like a Schrödinger’s cat.

Hope it won't be the case with agents, but the overall inconsistency in Apple’s moves regarding developers is sometimes scary. It's definitely not a way to win developers' trust.
