8888 The [surface coverage](/docs/en/model-config#surface-coverage) table compares Cowork with the other surfaces.
8989* **Running sessions**: most changes reach a running session on the schedule in the [delivery mechanism table](#choose-a-delivery-mechanism), without a restart.
9090 * Changes to [`forceRemoteSettingsRefresh`](/docs/en/settings-reference#forceremotesettingsrefresh), [`requiredMinimumVersion`](/docs/en/settings-reference#requiredminimumversion), and [some user-editable keys](/docs/en/settings#when-edits-take-effect) take effect at the next session start.
91 * A new or changed [`policyHelper`](/docs/en/settings-reference#policyhelper) entry takes effect at the next launch, except that a helper shadowed at launch by server-managed settings runs as soon as a fetch reports those settings removed.
91 * A new or changed [`policyHelper`](/docs/en/settings-reference#policyhelper) entry takes effect at the next launch. If server-managed settings shadow the helper at that launch, the helper runs as soon as a fetch reports those settings removed.
9292* **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.
9393* **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 [`requiredMinimumVersion`](/docs/en/settings-reference#requiredminimumversion) blocks an outdated binary from starting and doesn't end a session that's already running.

175175Under `"merge"`, Claude Code adds a lower source's list entries, such as `permissions.allow` rules and hooks, to the policy, so turn it on only when every source ranked below your highest one is under an administrator's control.

177This table shows how Claude Code combines each kind of key under `"merge"`. The [`managedSourcesBehavior` entry](/docs/en/settings-reference#managedsourcesbehavior) names every key in the restriction allowlist, values-taken-whole, and highest-source-only rows.
177This table shows how Claude Code combines each kind of key under `"merge"`. The [`managedSourcesBehavior` entry](/docs/en/settings-reference#managedsourcesbehavior) names every key in three of the rows: restriction allowlists, values taken whole, and keys read from the highest-ranked source only.
