What probably matters to youSection of the release
Unclear It is not clear what the hybrid settings scope holds or whether it changes which settings apply to you.
What
Claude Code reads settings from several scopes, meaning separate places that each hold settings, such as those for plugins or for projects. A switch fixed into the program when it is built now registers a hybrid settings scope as well. In the previous build this switch was off. The plugin and project scopes were already registered and are unchanged.
Why
This build registers one more place that settings can come from, alongside the ones that were already there.
