What
Claude Code now refuses direct writes to its settings-review store, the staging area used by /settings-review. Attempting to write there directly returns a message explaining that staged settings changes belong to the owner to review via /settings-review and can't be written directly. Supporting helpers identify where managed-settings files live and whether a given path falls under the settings-review state directory.
Why
This closes off a path where a tool or process could bypass the review step and silently apply settings changes, keeping settings changes subject to explicit owner review.
