What
Three new hidden CLI subcommands were added: edit-hook, edit-permission-rules, and edit-memory-settings. Each reads a single edit, formatted as JSON, from standard input and applies it. They are described as being used internally by the VS Code extension rather than something you'd run yourself from a terminal.
Why
This gives the VS Code extension a direct way to change hooks (scripts that run automatically at certain points), permission rules, and memory settings without going through the interactive CLI, which supports editing these settings from within the editor.
