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.

Startup can wait on a remote managed-settings refresh, with a deadline

You'll notice
Useful2 Signal2
Managed Settings

Startup can briefly wait for refreshed managed settings, with a deadline so it never hangs.

What

A new startup step races a fetch of remote managed settings against a consent prompt and reports one of four outcomes: refreshed, failed, timed out, or consent pending, meaning a consent dialog is up so startup does not block on the fetch. When the deadline expires it records a deadline_expired telemetry event.

Details
  • Telemetry event name: remote_managed_settings_startup_await.
  • Neither the event name nor the outcome strings exist in 2.1.241; this is a new path used only by managed and remote settings deployments.
Evidence

remote_managed_settings_startup_await

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