What
When Claude Code loads settings, it now checks allowedProviders and reports an error in these cases:
The value is not a list
An entry in the list is not text
An entry names a provider Claude Code does not know. The error lists the names it does know.
Names that are not valid are dropped from the settings Claude Code uses.
Why
A typo in allowedProviders used to pass through silently. Now it is flagged, so check the error message for the correct provider names.

Anthropic's note
Upstream's own release notes for v2.1.285 name something this entry names, so the two are probably about the same change. Probably: the pairing is made on a shared name rather than on the words around it.
Added allowedProviders managed setting to limit which API providers a machine may use (Anthropic API, a custom endpoint, Bedrock, Mantle, Vertex AI, Foundry, Claude Platform on AWS, or a Cloud gateway)
