Unclear Part of some new descriptions is not shown, so their full wording is unknown.

What

The sandbox is the protection that limits which files and network addresses Claude Code's commands can reach. The built-in descriptions of its settings were expanded:

  • sandbox.enabled now reads "Run Bash commands inside the sandbox. Default: false."
  • ignoreViolations and enableWeakerNestedSandbox gain descriptions, including a Linux-only option to run without the fresh /proc mount.
  • allowUnsandboxedCommands: a false set in managed settings, a --settings file or user settings holds, and in some cases a project-level value is ignored.
  • overrides_locked is now described as true also when allowUnsandboxedCommands: false comes from a --settings file or user settings, not only from an admin policy.
  • Project settings cannot re-open paths that another layer denies for reading, and a project-level network.strictAllowlist value is ignored in some cases.

Why

These are descriptions, not new behaviour. They make it clearer that a project's own settings file cannot loosen sandbox limits set by your administrator, a --settings file or your own user settings.
