What
The list of reasons that can cause Claude Code to invalidate and reload its settings and hooks now includes a new policy_verdict entry, alongside the existing settings_sync, account_change, and hooks_invalidate reasons.
Why
This lets a policy decision (such as one made by an organization's admin controls) trigger a refresh of settings and hooks, so changes driven by policy take effect without needing one of the other existing triggers.
