Unclear What the extra lock settings change is not shown.

What

When Claude Code renews your sign-in, it holds a lock (a marker file) so that two copies of Claude Code do not renew at the same moment. Both the current and the older way of taking that lock now add extra settings worked out from the lock file's location.

Why

This may change how Claude Code deals with a lock left behind by a copy that stopped.
