When a path both looks like a suspicious Windows path and looks like a Claude settings file, the suspicious-Windows-path result is now also tagged with `also: [\"claudeSettingsFile\"]`.\n\n**Why**\n\nWrites to Claude's own settings files can now be flagged specifically as such, rather than only being caught incidentally by the Windows-path check, and a path that trips both checks is now labeled as doing so.\n\n- Area: Permissions\n- Tier: Under the hood\n- Useful: 2\/5\n- Signal: 2\/5"}
