Release of Claude-Code v2.1.25: Fix for Validation Error

Claude-Code has released version v2.1.25, which focuses on fixing a specific validation error that users encountered with the beta header. This error particularly affected those using the gateway on platforms like Bedrock and Vertex. In response, a workaround has been provided through the introduction of the environment variable CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_EXPERIMENTAL_BETAS=1, which can be used to prevent this issue.
This update is essential for developers who might have integrated Claude-Code in systems where experimental beta features resulted in validation errors during usage. By setting the aforementioned environment variable, developers can ensure smooth operation without encountering the beta header validation error that was previously experienced.
