Claude Code --bare mode restricts MCP server connections and disables system reminders

code.claude.comagent

The --bare startup flag now restricts MCP server connections to only those explicitly named on the command line, disables system reminders from the model, and prevents background task startup. Commands reaching timeout now stop instead of moving to the background.
