The SDK pipe hardcoded setting_sources=[], so chats never loaded
~/.claude/CLAUDE.md or any settings.json. Expose it as a valve
(default empty = isolated baseline) so single-user/homelab instances
can opt into persistent context, while shared deployments keep the
safe default.
Parse via _parse_setting_sources(): comma-split, lowercase, drop
unknown tokens so a typo can't silently widen inheritance. README
documents the opt-in plus the hooks/permissions security tradeoff
(CLAUDE.md and settings.json load together — a Claude Code coupling)
and why the valve does not apply to the sandboxed pipe.
