Claude Code v2.1.232 13 Aug 2026

Settings errors that block startup no longer appear in the invalid-settings dialog

You'll notice

Useful2 Signal2

Settings

Startup-blocking settings errors are now reported as fatal rather than listed with the rest.

What

Errors marked as startup-fatal are filtered out of the list shown in the invalid-settings dialog, joining the existing exclusions for MCP error metadata and status-only entries. An invalid static settings payload is now one of those fatal cases, and reports that Claude Code will not start until it is fixed.

Details

The policy helpers map now also accepts an optional default settings payload.

Evidence

is not a valid static settings payload

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