Summary

  • Added MCP server permissions section documenting that wildcards aren't supported
  • Simplified model configuration section by removing redundant CLI flag and environment variable options
  • Applied subtraction-creates-value principle to reduce cognitive overhead

Context

During investigation of #1030, we discovered that MCP permission wildcards aren't supported by Claude Code, despite appearing to work for servers without hyphens. This PR documents this limitation and also simplifies the model configuration guidance to have one clear way of setting the model.

Changes

  • Added "MCP Server Permissions" section explaining no wildcard support
  • Removed CLI flag and environment variable options for model configuration
  • Kept only the settings.json approach as the single source of truth

Closes #1032
