What
Claude Code can now check whether your project settings, local settings or older-style settings files are ordinary files or are links that point somewhere else, such as a symlink (a shortcut to another file) or a file linked under more than one name. It collects any such files into a list.
Why
Nothing in this release shows what Claude Code does with that list, so there is no visible change to rely on yet.
How sure we are
Something disagreesSomething we can check disagrees with this entry, or the writer said they could not settle it.
The writer flagged doubtIt is not clear what uses the list of linked settings files or what happens when one is found.
