What
Some organizations push settings to computers through MDM (mobile device management, a system IT teams use to control company devices). Claude Code checks those settings at regular intervals. It now reads them again when the managed value has changed. If the very first check fails, Claude Code now passes the failure to an error handler. When watching the settings storage fails, Claude Code no longer returns a simple yes or no about it.
Why
Changes to managed policy are more likely to take effect without a restart.
