Claude Code now warns when a plugin disabled in ~/.claude/settings.json is re-enabled by a higher-precedence source such as project, local, flag, or policy settings. The warning explains exactly where to disable it instead.
Usage
{
"enabledPlugins": {
"formatter@anthropic-tools": false
}
}Details
- Project-enabled plugins should be disabled in
.claude/settings.local.json. - Plugins enabled through
--settingsmust be removed from the--settingsvalue. - Plugins enabled by managed policy cannot be overridden locally.
Evidence
New warning UI and remediation text (search for "Plugin settings overridden" and "These plugins are disabled in ~/.claude/settings.json, but a higher-precedence source re-enables them:").
Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
