2026-10-24-claude-code-latest-is-2-1-310-while-the-stable-selector-remains-2-1-308

Latest is 2.1.310 while the stable selector remains 2.1.308. At 2026-10-24T10:18:01.961288Z npm dist-tags were latest=2.1.310, next=2.1.310 and stable=2.1.308. Native latest read at 10:18:01.637374Z was 310; native stable at 10:18:01.743196Z was 308. These match the initial and crosscheck observations. The pinned Homebrew ordinary/latest casks in the install table carry 308/310. MCP Tasks remains feature-level public beta, requiring 304+ and eligibility rather than a preview-only binary.

Channel: tagged-release. Half: both. Date: 2026-10-24.

Operator consequence: For the complete window repair set, test and pin npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code@2.1.310. The stable selector is not that release. A version pin still does not establish hosted rollout, beta eligibility or runtime enforcement; main’s post-310 guard changes are documentation and comments only.
