Claude Code now merges that base policy into each of the others in a single step that produces the whole merged policy. Before, the command-line, desktop and serve-to-desktop parts were each merged separately, each in its own way.\n\n**Why**\n\nThe merge decides which settings a policy picks up from the catch-all. If you manage Claude Code through these policies, check that the merged result still holds what you expect.\n\n- Area: Managed Settings\n- Tier: Under the hood\n- Useful: 2\/5\n- Signal: 2\/5\n- Scope: org\n- Heads-up: no"}
