Unclear It is not clear whether wildcard matching itself changed or only the description of it.
What
Organisations can control Claude Code through managed settings, settings an administrator sets for everyone. The built-in descriptions of two of these settings changed.
- The managed npm marketplace list (
strictKnownMarketplaces) now says a scope wildcard such as "@acme/*" still parses in a managed list but matches no marketplace package. Before, the text said such an entry matched every package under the scope. - The
allowManagedPermissionRulesOnlydescription no longer lists npm-direct (package@npm) plugins as keeping their allowed-tools frontmatter. Frontmatter is the settings block at the top of a plugin file. The removed text covered plugins "whose recorded resolution a registry-pinned managed npm strictKnownMarketplaces entry names". It still says host and path patterns andenabledPluginsids do not vouch.
The option-select list also changed:
- It accepts a
declineValue. - It passes
disablePrintableKeybindingsto its key handler. - In the compact layout, an option's label can use its own
labelColor.
Why
Administrators who relied on "@acme/*" wildcards or on npm-direct plugins keeping their allowed tools should review their managed lists. The members report only the description text. The sweep agent suggests enforcement may also have changed for managed organisations.
