What
Remote settings are settings your organization sends to Claude Code from a server. Claude Code checks for them in the background from time to time. Before, a check only acted when the settings had changed. Now it also applies them when the first load had not yet been confirmed and a later check confirms it, and it logs "Remote settings: Confirmed by a background poll".
Claude Code also now discards its early saved copy of these settings when it is not eligible to fetch them or when an override file is in use.
Why
Settings managed by your organization can take effect after a background check even when their content has not changed.
