What
Managed policy is the set of settings an organisation enforces on Claude Code. Claude Code can now compare the saved identity those settings belong to with the current one. It reports that the identity changed when the two differ, or that it couldn't be read when either is missing.
This replaces an internal step that set up how long to wait while idle.
Why
It suggests a session can notice when the identity behind managed policy changes partway through.
