What
The code that locks and saves Claude Code's global settings (the settings that apply across all your projects) no longer needs to be told which file to use. It always uses one location. The check for whether a project's settings are committed to the project can now also answer yes in one more case.
Why
This is mostly internal tidying with no clear effect on what you see.
