Claude Code v2.1.232

Gateway desktop: policy overlays are validated before serving

You'll notice

Managed Settings

Gateway operators get startup errors for bad desktop policy keys instead of silently passing them through.

managed.policies
What

If you run a Claude gateway and your config sets managed.policies entries with a desktop block, those settings are now checked against Claude Desktop's managed-configuration schema at startup. Unknown keys, keys the gateway is not allowed to serve, unparseable values and values Desktop would silently discard now abort startup with a per-key error list instead of being passed through untouched.

Details
  • The previous build shallow-merged { match, cli, desktop } and served whatever was written.
  • Non-fatal findings, such as reports of dropped values and intake warnings, are logged as warnings and do not stop startup.
Evidence

desktop overlay invalid: refused or unparseable keys

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