Manual Configuration Not Work

If you manually modified the ~/.claude/settings.json configuration file but found the changes did not take effect, refer to the following troubleshooting steps.

• Close all Claude Code windows, open a new command-line window, and run claude again to start.
• If the issue persists, try deleting the ~/.claude/settings.json file and then reconfigure the environment variables; Claude Code will automatically generate a new configuration file.
• Confirm that the JSON format of the configuration file is correct, check the variable names, and ensure there are no missing or extra commas; you can use an online JSON validator tool to check.
