It's fixed as of nine minutes ago: https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/pull/16686

Genuinely curious how a date in the subheader of a changelog could have broken the CLI

edit: it seems changelog.md is assumed to be structured data and parsed at startup, and there are no tests to enforce the changelog structure: https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/16671

What a lazy commit message, "Update CHANGELOG.md", no mention of the "why" at all. Even the PR description is blank.

  • This is especially bizarre because one thing LLMs have been better at that practically all the developers I have ever worked with is writing good commit messages. The fact they didn't make use of this here when everything else in Claude Code seems vibe-coded these days is funny to me.

    • Claude Code couldn't write a commit description since it was broken at that point.
