Claude Code v2.1.118 22 Apr 2026

--managed-settings CLI Flag

What

A new CLI flag that accepts a JSON object of policy-tier settings from a spawning parent process (SDK use only).

Usage

claude --managed-settings '{"key": "value"}'

Details

Only honored when spawned by an SDK parent process
Ignored with a warning when passed outside SDK context: "--managed-settings ignored: only honored when spawned by an SDK parent"
Invalid JSON produces: "--managed-settings ignored: invalid JSON object"
Parsed settings are applied as "Enterprise managed settings (parent process)"

Evidence

CLI flag definition (search for "--managed-settings") and validation messages (search for "--managed-settings ignored").

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
