What
Claude Code now watches for a specific set of configuration-change events and, when one of those matching changes occurs, automatically reloads hooks modules. Each module's reload outcome — success, refusal, or failure — is logged with an "options changed" message.
Why
This means changes to hook configuration can take effect automatically without requiring a manual restart, while still giving visibility into which modules reloaded cleanly and which didn't.
