What
The /settings-review system, which tracks staged changes to Claude Code settings for the account owner to review, gains new internal helpers: functions to canonicalize file paths, a list of plugin-related settings directories, and a new classifier. Together these extend the system to recognize additional settings file locations, including ones related to plugin skillOverrides, as either exempt from review or subject to it.
Why
This keeps the settings-review process, where staged Claude Code settings changes remain the owner's to approve, accurate as plugins introduce new kinds of settings files that need to be classified correctly.
