Settings sent to a cloud session are checked for broken or linked files first

When Claude Code copies your personal settings into a cloud session (a session that runs on a remote machine rather than your own computer), it now inspects your user settings file first. The file is treated as broken if it contains an error or if it is a symlink, which is a file that only points to another file somewhere else.

When a settings file cannot be safely checked, Claude Code records one of two causes:

• too_many_links: the file passes through too many links to follow
• alias_unreadable: the file the link points to cannot be read

When some of your settings are refused, the message you see now refers to "the rest of your settings" being sent. The message shown when the copy runs out of time has also been reworded.
