Under the hood
Settings validator adds a rule requiring some values to be whole numbers of "character cells"
What
Claude Code's settings validation now includes a new rule for certain configuration keys, requiring their value to be a finite whole number within a set range, described in terms of "character cells". This is separate from the existing rule that validates color-string settings.
Why
This lets Claude Code catch invalid values earlier for settings that must be sized in character cells, giving a clearer error instead of accepting a malformed value.
Something disagreesSomething we can check disagrees with this entry, or the writer said they could not settle it.
The writer flagged doubt
The finding doesn't say which specific settings keys this new rule applies to.
