DisclaimerUnofficial, and not affiliated with Anthropic. Nearly all of this is read straight out of what ships: npm bundles, captured prompts, published docs. Anthropic's own notes go in verbatim, marked as theirs. The rest is my reading, and every entry carries the strings behind it. If one looks wrong, vote it down and say why.

Settings environment state moved onto one object

Under the hood
Useful2 Signal1
Settings

Settings-driven environment variables and plugin paths are now handled by one resettable object.

What

Applying environment variables from settings layers, the rules that let managed telemetry settings win, the snapshot of the environment taken before settings load, and the set of keys passed to spawned hosts are now fields on a single object, so resetting them is one call. Plugin cache and marketplace paths can now be turned into storage keys, and plugin MCP server files read through the backend.

Evidence

so lower-trust scopes cannot redirect

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