Claude Code v2.1.281 ·

SDK/CLI --managed-settings payload is now loaded at startup alongside --settings

The --managed-settings payload, including the SDK's managedSettings option, is now actually loaded at startup

What

At startup Claude Code reads settings passed on the command line. It used to load only the --settings flag. It now also loads the --managed-settings payload, and runs this step when either one is given.

Programs using the SDK, which lets code drive Claude Code, pass Options.managedSettings, which becomes --managed-settings.

Why

Managed settings passed this way now take effect in this startup path. Before, they were accepted but not applied there.
