Unclear Whether a second broken settings file still gets its own error message is not stated.
What
When a settings file cannot be read because its contents are malformed, Claude Code logs a parse error. It used to keep track of which files it had already reported. It now keeps one yes-or-no record for all of them.
Why
This cuts repeated error messages. If you fix one broken settings file, check your other settings files as well.
