What probably matters to youSection of the release

Unclear It is not clear how many of these settings the Claude Code command line reads, as opposed to the desktop app.

What

Administrators can set managed settings for everyone in their organization. The list of settings for Cowork and third-party deployments now includes:

sharingEndpoint: where "Publish to organization" sends shared items
scheduledTasksEnabled: when off, sessions start without the /loop command, its scheduling tools and its wake-up timer
keepAwakeEnabled: whether keep-awake is allowed
allowedPluginMcpServers: which MCP servers (connections to outside tools and data) plugins may use
mcpScheduledTaskApprovalLifetimeDays: how many days an approval for an MCP server in a scheduled task lasts

The description of userPluginMarketplacesEnabled has been rewritten. The Salesforce plugin marketplace entry is no longer limited to internal use and now points at its claude-prod version.

Why

Admins get more control over scheduled tasks, MCP approvals and which servers plugins can reach.

What the documentation says

/loop Claude Code changelog modified, high confidence * Fixed a background session's `/loop` silently stopping when the session's process restarted (for example after a crash), because its pending wakeup was lost see the edit

Names in this entry

slash/loop
Skill. Run a prompt repeatedly while the session stays open. Omit the interval and Claude self-paces between iterations. Omit the prompt and Claude runs the built-in maintenance prompt or your loop.md. Example: /loop 5m check if the deploy finished. See Run prompts on a schedule. Alias: /proactive
settinguserPluginMarketplacesEnabled
Admins can now block users from adding their own plugin marketplaces or uploading plugins.

Anthropic's note

Upstream's own release notes for v2.1.293 name something this entry names, so the two are probably about the same change. Probably: the pairing is made on a shared name rather than on the words around it.

Reverted the 2.1.290 fix for cloud sessions staying asleep after a container restart lost a pending /loop wakeup or scheduled task; Claude is no longer told, and the session stays asleep

Is this right?
