Cause (Documented platform behavior): Auto-update compares the set of setting names; any difference aborts the update so the user can supply new values interactively.
Fix status: documented_behavior
Limitations:
- Source is the published @qwen-code/qwen-code 0.24.6 npm bundle (minified chunks and locale files); behaviour may differ in other versions.
- Not reproduced in this session.
Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor):
- https://registry.npmjs.org/@qwen-code/qwen-code/-/qwen-code-0.24.6.tgz#package/chunks/chunk-4DAVFJGK.js (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): Install/update path compares old and new settings name sets when autoUpdate is on and throws the quoted error when they differ.
