What
Claude Code reads settings from several places, including the repository you are working in. Before reading and checking each place, it now looks for a frozen copy of that place's settings. If one exists, it uses that copy, together with any errors saved with it.
Why
Repository-level settings may stay fixed for the length of a session.
