Unclear It is not stated which apps pin the project folder.

What

Some apps that start Claude Code can pin the project folder, which is the folder project settings are read from. When it is pinned and the working directory changes during a session, Claude Code now tells the model that these still come from the folder where the session was launched:

  • project settings
  • MCP servers (add-ons that provide extra tools)
  • skills

Permission rules written in the new folder count only if both folders are trusted. Before, Claude Code always said settings now came from the new folder.

Why

This matters for apps such as the desktop app that pin the project folder, because the model now has an accurate picture of where its settings come from.
