What

Some keys are ignored when a project's settings file sets them. Claude Code warns you when this happens. For some of those keys the warning now says the key can only come from the environment Claude Code is started with, and not from any settings file. Before, it said only that project settings cannot set the key.

Why

You find out where the value actually has to be set, instead of trying a different settings file.
