What probably matters to youSection of the release
What

claude agents opens the fleet view of your agents. It now respects these flags:

  • --settings, a settings file or inline settings for this session
  • --managed-settings
  • --setting-sources, which chooses which kinds of settings to load

The startup step that reads the agents command now recognises --managed-settings. It passes that flag on, along with --setting-sources=<value> when one is set.

Why

The fleet view now uses the same settings as the rest of your session instead of ignoring these flags.
