• fix Fixed a regression in settings hot-reload where symlinked settings files caused misattributed change events and spurious ConfigChange hooks
• fix Fixed claude --bg failing with "connection dropped mid-request" when the background service was about to idle-exit
• fix Fixed remote managed settings not retrying on 401 — now retries once with a force-refreshed token
