Managed settings are now checked only against the keys a file actually contains

Claude Code now builds its managed-settings check only for the keys present in a settings file, and reuses it, instead of building it in full

What

Managed settings are settings an organisation can set for Claude Code. Claude Code checks them against a schema, a description of which keys are allowed and what they may contain.

Before, it built the full schema for every possible key. It now builds the schema only for the keys a settings document actually contains, and keeps it for reuse. It also has a new safety check: if a document holds a key the saved schema was not built for, it reports "This settings schema was built for a document without this key".

Why

This is probably meant to make startup faster, with the new message guarding against a schema being reused for the wrong document.
