Core Features & Use Cases
- Enterprise Configuration Guidance: Explains how
/etc/claude-desktop/enterprise.json is read and how managed deployment settings affect app behavior.
- 3p Mode Behavior: Covers the
Claude-3p userData directory, hidden chat tab behavior, and the false VM-download banner seen in Linux native setups.
