What

Managed settings are settings an organization installs centrally, including files placed in a drop-in folder. When Claude Code checks whether a file it is about to edit is a settings file, it now also counts files inside those drop-in folders.

If a drop-in folder's location cannot be worked out, Claude Code cannot rule out that the file is a managed settings file. It then refuses the edit and tells the model not to try again. The check for whether policy covers a path also fails safe: it now needs every drop-in folder to be both resolved and located.

Why

This stops Claude Code from writing into centrally managed policy files. On machines where that folder cannot be resolved, some settings edits may now be refused.
