### Preflight Checklist
- [x] I have searched [existing issues](https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues?q=is%3Aissue%20state%3Aopen%20label%3Abug) and this hasn't been reported yet
- [x] This is a single bug report (please file separate reports for different bugs)
- [x] I am using the latest version of Claude Code
### What's Wrong?
After toggling `sandbox.enabled` in `~/.claude/settings.json`, the Cowork ("dispatch") Linux sandbox stayed network-restricted regardless of the setting. Turning sandbox mode off did not lift the restriction.
**Environment**
- macOS (Darwin 24.6.0), Claude Code + Cowork mode
- `~/.claude/settings.json` -> `sandbox.enabled: false`, with a populated `sandbox.network.allowedDomains` (incl. `*.cloudflare.com`, `hazards.fema.gov`)
- No `/Library/Application Support/ClaudeCode/managed-settings.json` present
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Set `sandbox.enabled: true` and add domains (e.g. `*.cloudflare.com`, `hazards.fema.gov`) to `sandbox.network.allowedDomains`.
2. In a Cowork session, run a curl loop against those domains from the sandbox shell.
3. Set `sandbox.enabled: false`.
4. Re-run the loop.
Test loop used:
```
for u in https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4 https://cloudflare.com https://www.google.com https://hazards.fema.gov https://registry.npmjs.org; do
c=$(curl -sS -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}" --max-time 15 "$u" 2>/dev/null); echo "$c $u"
done
```
**Actual**
In both states, only the platform's built-in allowlist applies. Unlisted domains return curl exit 56 (HTTP 403 from proxy, header `X-Proxy-Error: blocked-by-allowlist`); listed domains like `registry.npmjs.org` return 200. Result from inside the Cowork sandbox:
```
000 https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4
000 https://cloudflare.com
000 https://www.google.com
000 https://hazards.fema.gov
200 https://registry.npmjs.org
```
The same loop on the host Mac (CLI, sandbox off) returns normal codes for all five.
**Root cause (observed)**
The Cowork sandbox enforces egress via an external proxy (`localhost:3128`) reading a platform policy at `/etc/srt-settings.base.json` (plus per-request `/etc/srt-settings/oneshot-*.json`). This policy is independent of `~/.claude/settings.json`, so user `sandbox` settings have no effect on the Cowork sandbox, and there is no user-facing way to change it. The in-sandbox policy file is root-owned and unwritable; `sudo` is disabled (no-new-privileges).
### What Should Happen?
Either honor the user's `sandbox` settings (`sandbox.enabled`, `sandbox.network.allowedDomains`) in Cowork sessions, or clearly document that Cowork's sandbox allowlist is platform-fixed and separate from the CLI's `sandbox` config — so the settings do not appear to be silently ignored.
### Error Messages/Logs
```shell
curl: (56) Received HTTP code 403 from proxy after CONNECT
< HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden
< X-Proxy-Error: blocked-by-allowlist
Inside Cowork sandbox:
000 https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4
000 https://cloudflare.com
000 https://www.google.com
000 https://hazards.fema.gov
200 https://registry.npmjs.org
```
### Steps to Reproduce
1. In `~/.claude/settings.json`, set `sandbox.enabled: true` and add domains to `sandbox.network.allowedDomains` (e.g. `*.cloudflare.com`, `hazards.fema.gov`).
2. Open a Cowork session and run this loop from the sandbox shell:
```
for u in https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4 https://cloudflare.com https://www.google.com https://hazards.fema.gov https://registry.npmjs.org; do
c=$(curl -sS -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}" --max-time 15 "$u" 2>/dev/null); echo "$c $u"
done
```
3. Observe that the domains you allow-listed still return 000 (blocked), while only the platform defaults (e.g. registry.npmjs.org) return 200.
4. Set `sandbox.enabled: false` and re-run the same loop.
5. Observe the result is unchanged — the Cowork sandbox is still restricted, and the same loop run on the host Mac (CLI, sandbox off) returns normal codes for all five domains.

Línea de trabajo
Start by tracing how ~/.claude/settings.json is read for sandbox.enabled and sandbox.network.allowedDomains, then compare that path with Cowork's /etc/srt-settings.base.json and /etc/srt-settings/oneshot-*.json policy. Confirm whether the intended fix is integration or documentation, and validate the chosen behavior with the curl loop in the report in both enabled and disabled states.
