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.
