Claude Code 2.1.261 adds /skill-doctor and 128K output limits

The release ships 67 CLI changes, including bashOutputMaxChars and taskOutputMaxChars settings that keep up to 128K characters of command and background-task output inline before spilling to a file. /skill-doctor lists unused loaded skills and their context cost so they can be pruned.
