Unclear What causes the settings fetch to be held is not stated.
What
Claude Code can be told by a server that your version is too old to run. That check used to run straight away. It now waits for a pending fetch of server settings to finish first. If that fetch is still held up, the refusal is put off until it is done, and then Claude Code shows its message and shuts down.
Why
This affects when an enforced minimum version takes effect at startup.
