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.\n\n**Why**\n\nThis 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.\n\n- Area: Settings\n- Names: `\/settings-review`\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 2\/5\n- Signal: 2\/5"}
