[DOCS] New `footerLinksRegexes` setting from v2.1.176 is undocumented
1. TITLE
footerLinksRegexes setting from v2.1.176 is undocumented
2. WHAT KIND OF DOCUMENTATION ISSUE IS THIS?
- [x] Missing documentation (feature not documented)
- [ ] Unclear/confusing documentation
- [ ] Incorrect/outdated documentation
- [ ] Typo or formatting issue
- [ ] Missing code examples
- [ ] Broken links
- [ ] Other
3. WHERE DID YOU ENCOUNTER THIS ISSUE?
https://code.claude.com/docs/en/settings
https://code.claude.com/docs/en/statusline
4. WHICH SPECIFIC SECTION OR TOPIC NEEDS IMPROVEMENT?
Available settings table on the settings page; the statusLine section on the statusline page.
5. CURRENT DOCUMENTATION
Neither settings.md nor statusline.md mentions footerLinksRegexes. A search across the full docs mirror returns zero matches.
The only related footer-setting entry is:
prUrlTemplate | URL template for the PR badge shown in the footer and in tool-result summaries...
The new footerLinksRegexes setting has no equivalent row.
6. WHAT'S WRONG OR MISSING?
v2.1.176 added a new footerLinksRegexes setting:
Added footerLinksRegexes setting for regex-matched link badges in the footer row, configurable via user or managed settings
Users have no way to discover this setting, its purpose, or its scope from the docs. It should be:
- Listed in the settings table on
settings.mdalongsideprUrlTemplate - Cross-referenced from
statusline.mdsince the footer row is part of the same surface
7. SUGGESTED IMPROVEMENT
Add a row to the settings table such as:
footerLinksRegexes| Array of regex patterns. Matching links in the footer row are rendered as badges. Configurable in user or managed settings. |["JIRA-\\d+", "https://internal\\.example\\.com/.*"]
And add a brief note to statusline.md (or a new "Footer link badges" section) describing what the regexes match against (terminal output, tool results, etc.) and a minimal example.
8. IMPACT
- [ ] High - Prevents users from using a feature
- [x] Medium - Makes feature difficult to understand
- [ ] Low - Minor confusion or inconvenience
9. ADDITIONAL CONTEXT
Affected Pages:
| Page | Context |
|------|---------|
| https://code.claude.com/docs/en/settings | Settings table is the canonical reference; new setting must appear here |
| https://code.claude.com/docs/en/statusline | Footer row is the same surface; should cross-reference the new setting |
