What
Claude Code's settings code gained a way to decide how settings keys coming from the folder you launched it in are treated. By default they are taken as read, as before. The settings panel gained a matching field that is always empty for now.
Why
Nothing changes in practice yet. It looks like preparation for controlling which settings a project folder is allowed to set.
Something disagreesSomething we can check disagrees with this entry, or the writer said they could not settle it.
The writer flagged doubt
Which settings keys are involved, and whether the empty panel field is ever shown, were not traced.
