What
Managed settings are settings that an organization's administrators enforce on Claude Code. They live in a managed-settings.json file and a managed-settings.d folder. Claude Code used to read them with code tied to those two locations. It now reads them through a more general routine that can start from settings already loaded and adjust each file as it goes. Error messages, such as managed-settings.d read failed:, now name the file through that same routine.
Why
This is internal groundwork for applying organization policy changes during a session. It does not change anything you see.
