Unclear Whether this waiting applies to every setup or only to some is not stated.
What
Hooks are your own commands that Claude Code runs at set moments, such as when a session starts. Managed settings are settings your organisation's administrator sets for everyone. Claude Code now holds back these until the organisation's managed settings have answered:
hooks that run at startup
command sources
hooks that come from plugins
If the managed settings never answer, Claude Code shows a warning and does not run the hooks. A failure because the organisation did not answer is treated the same as a policy block.
Why
If your organisation manages Claude Code, hooks may start a little later, or not run at all, when its settings cannot be reached at startup. This stops hooks from running before the organisation's rules are known.
