Unclear It is not clear which commands fall into the new cases.

What

Claude Code checks shell commands to see whether they name one of its settings files. In more cases now, when that check cannot reach a clear answer, the command is marked unresolved and counted as naming a settings file, instead of being let through as clean. Before, those cases passed unchanged.

Why

This is more cautious: a command that might write to your settings is less likely to slip through unchecked. It may also mean more commands get stopped or questioned as possible settings changes.
