What
When you start a cloud session (Claude Code running on a remote machine instead of yours), Claude Code copies some of your settings across and tells you what it did not send.
That notice is now more specific:
If a settings file could not be read, the notice names that file and says to fix it, then reopen this cloud session or start a new one. Before, it only mentioned "your settings file, which failed validation".
For allow rules that were kept, the warning now says that "a hook, a plugin or a rule that was not sent may guard" the action.
Why
You can see exactly which file kept your settings from reaching the cloud, and what to do about it, instead of guessing.
