What
The code that renders settings list items, including the lock display for autoUpdatesChannel (the setting that follows a stable release channel instead of latest), was internally renumbered by Claude Code's build tooling. The actual logic, including which settings show as locked and how the update channel default is checked, did not change.
Why
This is a behind-the-scenes cleanup with no effect on what you see or how settings behave.
