What
The part of Claude Code that manages settings files now keeps track of:
- the first time it read each settings file
- changes Claude Code itself wrote to a file before its first check of that file
- which files have had that first check
Why
This could change how Claude Code notices settings files that are edited outside it, by telling those edits apart from its own.
