Diskless sessions no longer fall back to reading config from local disk

With CLAUDE_CODE_HOVER_REST on, a diskless session loads config only from its storage service, uses defaults if that fails, and skips backups

What probably matters to youSection of the release
What

When CLAUDE_CODE_HOVER_REST is on, a diskless session (one that keeps its data in a storage service rather than on the local disk) now handles its configuration differently:

  • it can only load its config through a storage service, and stops with an error if none was given
  • if reading from that storage fails, it uses the default settings instead of reading the config file
  • it skips looking for backup copies of the config file

Before, it fell back to reading the config file directly.

Why

Sessions running with CLAUDE_CODE_HOVER_REST no longer touch the local disk for config. If storage cannot be read, expect default settings rather than your file's settings.
