Error Messages/Logs

TL;DR

The issue may be resolved by verifying that the settings.json file is being read correctly by Claude Code and that the "companion" setting is being applied as expected.

Guidance

• Verify that the ~/.claude/settings.json file is in the correct location and has the correct permissions.
• Check that the settings.json file is being read by Claude Code after restarting, by adding a different setting and verifying that it takes effect.
• Consider adding a debug log or console statement to verify that the "companion" setting is being applied correctly.
• If the issue persists, try resetting the Claude Code settings to their default values to see if the issue is related to a specific setting or configuration.

Example

No code example is provided as the issue does not require a specific code change.

Notes

The issue may be related to a bug in the Claude Code settings parsing or application logic. Further investigation is needed to determine the root cause of the issue.

Recommendation
