What

Some files Claude Code reads begin with a short block of settings written as key: value lines. A line is now read only when its value starts with a visible character rather than a space. Before, any text after the colon counted as the value.

Why

This corrects how one unusual case is parsed. A key with nothing but spaces after it is no longer read as having a value.

The writer flagged doubtIt is not certain which files this parser handles, though it is believed to be the one for output styles.
