When running as a 'confined evaluation child', Claude Code now skips the network fetch for remote settings entirely and instead serves a harness-written policy snapshot. This path is controlled by the evalPolicySnapshotOnly flag, which is itself gated by the CLAUDE_CODE_EVAL_CONFINED environment variable elsewhere in the code.
