Source Intelligence

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.

Claude Code v2.1.248

Managed-settings fetch failures now say why, and that proxy env is withheld

You'll notice
Useful3 Signal2
Managed Settings

Managed settings failures now name the reason and warn that proxy settings aren't applied.

What

When Claude Code cannot fetch your organization's managed settings, the message now names the reason (401/403, other 4xx/5xx, timeout, network, parse error, invalid settings, or a gateway-pin mismatch). If it falls back to a cached copy, it also tells you that transport environment settings from that policy are not applied.

Details
  • On a stale cache, proxy, CA certificate and provider environment values from managed policy are withheld until a fetch succeeds; the rest of the cached settings still apply.
Evidence

; proxy/CA/provider env withheld until a fetch succeeds

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