What probably matters to youSection of the release
What
The SDK, the toolkit programs use to run Claude Code, has a new option, managedSettingsDelivery. Managed settings are settings an organization enforces centrally. The option takes one of two values:
'argv', the default, passes the managed settings on the command line when Claude Code starts.
'initialize' sends them in the first request the SDK makes to start the session.
With 'initialize', if Claude Code does not confirm that it applied the managed settings, the session is ended. Any other value is rejected as invalid. A matching option, managedSettingsInInitialize, also appears among the options for print mode.
Why
Programs built on the SDK can now deliver managed settings through the startup request. Because the session ends when they are not confirmed, a session never runs without them by accident.
