Internal check for model-override settings now filters sources instead of excluding one

What

A helper used internally when Claude Code checks model-override and enforcement settings was reworked. Instead of taking a full list of settings sources and removing one scope from it, it now filters the complete set of settings sources down to just localSettings and projectSettings, and it excludes project settings entirely in a certain condition.

Why

This is an internal implementation detail of how Claude Code decides which settings file takes precedence for model overrides. It doesn't change any user-facing behavior directly, but it affects which settings sources are consulted when enforcement checks run.

How sure we are
Something disagreesSomething we can check disagrees with this entry, or the writer said they could not settle it.
The writer flagged doubtThe finding does not say what user-visible effect this has on model-override behavior.
