[FEATURE] Add gitPollingIntervalMs setting to reduce/disable background git polling
Resolved 💬 3 comments Opened Jun 23, 2026 by npinto Closed Jun 26, 2026
Problem
Claude Code polls git status every ~20 seconds per session. With many concurrent sessions in the same repo, this causes .git/index.lock contention and wasted IO on idle sessions.
Proposal
{ "gitPollingIntervalMs": 60000 }
Set to 0 to disable (on-demand only).
