feat: add autoUpdates option for ~/.claude.json#45
Merged
Conversation
Adds a nullOr bool `programs.claude.autoUpdates` option, mirroring the existing `autoUpdatesChannel` and `remoteControlAtStartup` options, and wires it into the claudeJsonOverlay so it deep-merges into ~/.claude.json at activation time. null (default) leaves the key unmanaged (Claude Code's own default is true). Pairs with autoUpdatesChannel to give Nix full declarative control of the in-app auto-updater instead of hand-editing ~/.claude.json. Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-4-8[1m]

What
Adds a
programs.claude.autoUpdateshome-manager option (nullOr bool, defaultnull), mirroring the existingautoUpdatesChannel/remoteControlAtStartupoptions, and wires it into theclaudeJsonOverlay(modules/settings.nix) so it deep-merges into~/.claude.jsonat activation time.Why
autoUpdatesis a~/.claude.jsonkey with no Nix knob today — the overlay only managedmcpServersandremoteControlAtStartup. Without this option, enabling/disabling Claude Code's in-app auto-updater required hand-editing~/.claude.json, which is exactly the kind of user-level config that should be declarative.null(default) → unmanaged (Claude Code's own default istrue); no behavior change for existing consumers.true/false→ written verbatim into~/.claude.json.Pairs with
autoUpdatesChannelto give Nix full control of the updater (channel + on/off).Verification
