What
The Edit tool can now mark its result as staged. When that happens, instead of confirming the edit was made, Claude Code reports that the file was NOT modified because changes to Claude Code's own settings files are held for the computer owner to review, via /settings-review.
Why
This prevents Claude from silently changing Claude Code's own settings files and instead requires the computer's owner to explicitly approve those changes through /settings-review, adding a safety check around self-modifying configuration.
