Bridge Cloud-Truth settings.json (3481 bytes, top-level keys: `permissions` + `hooks` only) has NO model · effort · fast · thinkingBudget fields. Dan's prior user-level settings.json (pre-cure) held his Max-effort + Fast-mode preferences; cure stomped them.

The `Write` tool replaced entire file content rather than merging. **This is the Trip-051826 diagnosed cure-recipe-stomp · Pass-2 instance · Doc-side this time.** 2. **Writeback-cycle at 01:40 PM PT:** When STN2-Doc tried to Edit `effortLevel` from "medium" to "xhigh" and add `model` + `fastMode` fields, Claude Code's own internal writeback mechanism (current-session-state owns the user-level settings.json) REVERTED the file back to in-session-state values (`effortLevel: "medium"` only). **This is a NEW mechanic Trip's 051826 diagnosis did not surface · Claude Code OWNS user-level settings.json and writes session-state to it.** ### §IV.3 · Why-LIVING_MAP_Trip-warning-was-not-honored Per CLAUDE.md Rule 11 Boot Read-Order Step 7: *"Recent RELAY/CORRECTION_* and RELAY/STANDARD_RULE_* files filed past 7 days"*.

STN2-Doc DID read LIVING_MAP_Trip per boot read-order today · but parsed the 051826 PARALLEL-PEAPOD-cure-stomp context as historical-substrate not active-warning. **This is parsing-failure-class: substrate read but not applied to current-action-decisioning.** The structural failure: STN2-Doc didn't grep its own about-to-execute action (Write user-level settings.json) against the recently-diagnosed failure-class taxonomy.
