SDK methods applyFlagSettings and updateSettings now route through a different internal wrapper function

What

Two methods used by the Claude Code SDK's query client, applyFlagSettings and updateSettings, now send their asynchronous requests through a different internal helper function than before. The SDK is the toolkit that lets code outside Claude Code drive it programmatically, and updateSettings is the method that lets that outside code change settings.

Why

This is an internal plumbing change: the finding does not indicate any difference in what applyFlagSettings or updateSettings do or how they're called, only that a different underlying function now carries the request.

How sure we are
Something disagreesSomething we can check disagrees with this entry, or the writer said they could not settle it.
The writer flagged doubtThe finding does not say what behavior, if any, differs as a result of using the new wrapper function.
