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.

Policy helper settings are now per-OS with a static fallback

Managed Settings Notable

Policy helpers now take per-OS entries plus a static settings payload used when they fail.

policyHelpersdefault
What

The managed-settings policy helper, an admin-controlled hook that supplies settings at startup, now takes separate entries for macos, linux, windows and wsl plus an optional default entry that is a plain settings payload rather than a program to run. A helper that fails at startup or refresh falls back to that static payload without spawning anything.

Details
  • Helper paths must be absolute, normalized and at most 1024 characters, with no control or invisible characters and no . or .. segments.
  • On Windows, UNC and drive-relative forms are rejected and the path must end in .exe; on POSIX, /proc and /net magic roots are rejected.
  • Only honored from admin-controlled policy sources, not from user or project settings.
Evidence

path must end in .exe on Windows

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