# Claude Code 2.1.271 adds remote fast mode and per-command sandbox hosts

> Claude Code 2.1.271 adds remote fast mode, per-command sandbox hosts, omitClaudeMd, and self-hosted drain telemetry, plus a long reliability pass.

Claude Code **v2.1.271**, published 14 September 2026, adds fast mode to Remote sessions, mouse-driven fullscreen `/config`, per-command sandbox hosts, skippable CLAUDE.md for subagents, and drain telemetry for self-hosted runners.

**Fast mode on Remote.** Cloud and self-hosted runners can now use fast mode. The host’s fast-mode setting or `/fast` typed in the session applies where the organization allows it. The same tag also tightens the edges: `/fast off` no longer answers “Fast mode unavailable” when the org has fast mode disabled; sessions started with `CLAUDE_CODE_SKIP_FAST_MODE_ORG_CHECK` stop re-sending fast requests after the API rejects them; and fast mode under `CLAUDE_CODE_RETRY_WATCHDOG` falls back to standard speed instead of failing a usage-credits limit or retrying an overload at fast speed.

**Sandbox hosts, reviewed with the command.** In auto mode with sandboxing, Bash, PowerShell, and Monitor accept per-command `allowed_domains`. The hosts a command needs are reviewed with it and opened for it alone; other hosts are refused.

**Subagents can skip CLAUDE.md.** `omitClaudeMd` in agent frontmatter and `--agents` JSON lets custom and plugin subagents run without user, project, and local CLAUDE.md files. Managed policy files still load.

**Drain marker, plugins, and chargeback.** `claude self-hosted-runner --drain-marker-file <path>` reports a SIGTERM drain as a host drain when that file exists—telemetry only. Plugin install and update gain `--accept-command <sha256>` so you can accept exactly the command a previous `--json` run displayed, instead of `-y`. Managed `modelPricing` and the Claude apps gateway `pricing` block accept a `multiplier` above 1, up to 10, for marked-up internal chargeback. A cached organization policy is no longer reused after you switch accounts, organizations, or API keys, and it refreshes when credentials change mid-session rather than waiting for the hourly check.

**Fullscreen `/config`.** In fullscreen mode, the wheel scrolls the settings list, a click on a setting’s value changes it, and the row under the pointer is highlighted.

The tag also ships a long reliability pass—Bash permission checks, MCP, Remote Control, VS Code, Claude Code on the web, Claude Tag, and Code Review—plus behavior changes such as Monitor watches always carrying a deadline.

Open the v2.1.271 release notes and scan the Remote, sandbox, and `omitClaudeMd` entries before you enable fast mode or command-scoped hosts on production runners.
