8080* **Surfaces**: every surface that runs Claude Code on the machine reads these sources: the terminal, the VS Code and JetBrains extensions, the desktop app, and [Agent SDK](/docs/en/agent-sdk/typescript) sessions, which load managed settings even when `settingSources` excludes the user, project, and local files.
8181* **Cloud sessions**: a session in an Anthropic-hosted environment doesn't read a device's MDM profile or file, so policy for it has to come from server-managed settings. A session in a [self-hosted environment](/docs/en/self-hosted-environments) reads the managed settings file in its runner image only when server-managed settings deliver no keys, apart from the [keys Claude Code reads from every admin source](#keys-read-from-every-admin-source).
8282* **Running sessions**: a session picks up most changes on the schedule in the table without a restart. Claude Code reads [`forceRemoteSettingsRefresh`](/docs/en/settings-reference#forceremotesettingsrefresh) and [`requiredMinimumVersion`](/docs/en/settings-reference#requiredminimumversion) only at session start, arms a new or changed [`policyHelper`](/docs/en/settings-reference#policyhelper) entry at the next launch, and reads [some user-editable keys once at session start](/docs/en/settings#when-edits-take-effect).
83* **Changes that need approval**: a server-managed change to a setting that [needs approval](/docs/en/server-managed-settings#security-approval-dialogs), such as a hook or an `env` variable, waits for the developer to accept the dialog in an interactive session, and applies for the current run in a session an IDE extension or the Agent SDK hosts. Other server-managed changes apply on the next poll.
83* **Changes that need approval**: apart from the [updates that wait for the next launch](/docs/en/server-managed-settings#fetch-and-caching-behavior), a server-managed change to a setting that [needs approval](/docs/en/server-managed-settings#security-approval-dialogs), such as a hook or an `env` variable, waits for the developer to accept the dialog in an interactive session, and applies for the current run in a session an IDE extension or the Agent SDK hosts. Other server-managed changes apply on the next poll.
8484* **Long-lived sessions**: a session left open for weeks can still lag a rollout. [`requiredMinimumVersion`](/docs/en/settings-reference#requiredminimumversion) blocks an outdated binary from starting and doesn't end a session that's already running.
