-# Qwen Code Configuration
-
-> [!tip]
->
-> **Authentication / API keys:** Authentication (Qwen OAuth, Alibaba Cloud Coding Plan, or API Key) and auth-related environment variables (like `OPENAI_API_KEY`) are documented in **[Authentication](../configuration/auth)**.
-
-> [!note]
->
-> **Note on New Configuration Format**: The format of the `settings.json` file has been updated to a new, more organized structure. The old format will be migrated automatically.
-> Qwen Code offers several ways to configure its behavior, including environment variables, command-line arguments, and settings files. This document outlines the different configuration methods and available settings.
-
-## Configuration layers
-
-Configuration is applied in the following order of precedence (lower numbers are overridden by higher numbers):
-
-| Level | Configuration Source   | Description                                                                     |
-| ----- | ---------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
-| 1     | Default values         | Hardcoded defaults within the application                                       |
-| 2     | System defaults file   | System-wide default settings that can be overridden by other settings files     |
-| 3     | User settings file     | Global settings for the current user                                            |
-| 4     | Project settings file  | Project-specific settings                                                       |
-| 5     | System settings file   | System-wide settings that override all other settings files                     |
-| 6     | Environment variables  | System-wide or session-specific variables, potentially loaded from `.env` files |
-| 7     | Command-line arguments | Values passed when launching the CLI                                            |
-
-## Settings files
-
-Qwen Code uses JSON settings files for persistent configuration. There are four locations for these files:
-
-| File Type             | Location                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        | Scope                                                                                                                                                                                                                     |
-| --------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
-| System defaults file  | Linux: `/etc/qwen-code/system-defaults.json`<br>Windows: `C:\ProgramData\qwen-code\system-defaults.json`<br>macOS: `/Library/Application Support/QwenCode/system-defaults.json` <br>The path can be overridden using the `QWEN_CODE_SYSTEM_DEFAULTS_PATH` environment variable. | Provides a base layer of system-wide default settings. These settings have the lowest precedence and are intended to be overridden by user, project, or system override settings.                                         |
-| User settings file    | `~/.qwen/settings.json` (where `~` is your home directory).                                                                                                                                                                                                                     | Applies to all Qwen Code sessions for the current user.                                                                                                                                                                   |
-| Project settings file | `.qwen/settings.json` within your project's root directory.                                                                                                                                                                                                                     | Applies only when running Qwen Code from that specific project. Project settings override user settings.                                                                                                                  |
-| System settings file  | Linux： `/etc/qwen-code/settings.json` <br>Windows: `C:\ProgramData\qwen-code\settings.json` <br>macOS: `/Library/Application Support/QwenCode/settings.json`<br>The path can be overridden using the `QWEN_CODE_SYSTEM_SETTINGS_PATH` environment variable.                    | Applies to all Qwen Code sessions on the system, for all users. System settings override user and project settings. May be useful for system administrators at enterprises to have controls over users' Qwen Code setups. |
-
-> [!note]
->
-> **Note on environment variables in settings:** String values within your `settings.json` files can reference environment variables using either `$VAR_NAME` or `${VAR_NAME}` syntax. These variables will be automatically resolved when the settings are loaded. For example, if you have an environment variable `MY_API_TOKEN`, you could use it in `settings.json` like this: `"apiKey": "$MY_API_TOKEN"`.
-
-### The `.qwen` directory in your project
-
-In addition to a project settings file, a project's `.qwen` directory can contain other project-specific files related to Qwen Code's operation, such as:
-
-- [Custom sandbox profiles](../features/sandbox) (e.g. `.qwen/sandbox-macos-custom.sb`, `.qwen/sandbox.Dockerfile`).
-- [Agent Skills](../features/skills) under `.qwen/skills/` (each Skill is a directory containing a `SKILL.md`).
-
-### Configuration migration
-
-Qwen Code automatically migrates legacy configuration settings to the new format. Old settings files are backed up before migration. The following settings have been renamed from negative (`disable*`) to positive (`enable*`) naming:
-
-| Old Setting                              | New Setting                                 | Notes                              |
-| ---------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------- |
-| `disableAutoUpdate` + `disableUpdateNag` | `general.enableAutoUpdate`                  | Consolidated into a single setting |
-| `disableLoadingPhrases`                  | `ui.accessibility.enableLoadingPhrases`     |                                    |
-| `disableFuzzySearch`                     | `context.fileFiltering.enableFuzzySearch`   |                                    |
-| `disableCacheControl`                    | `model.generationConfig.enableCacheControl` |                                    |
-
-> [!note]
->
-> **Boolean value inversion:** When migrating, boolean values are inverted (e.g., `disableAutoUpdate: true` becomes `enableAutoUpdate: false`).
-
-#### Consolidation policy for `disableAutoUpdate` and `disableUpdateNag`
-
-When both legacy settings are present with different values, the migration follows this policy: if **either** `disableAutoUpdate` **or** `disableUpdateNag` is `true`, then `enableAutoUpdate` becomes `false`:
-
-| `disableAutoUpdate` | `disableUpdateNag` | Migrated `enableAutoUpdate` |
-| ------------------- | ------------------ | --------------------------- |
-| `false`             | `false`            | `true`                      |
-| `false`             | `true`             | `false`                     |
-| `true`              | `false`            | `false`                     |
-| `true`              | `true`             | `false`                     |

-### Available settings in `settings.json`
-
-Settings are organized into categories. All settings should be placed within their corresponding top-level category object in your `settings.json` file.

Supports request controls such as `timeout`, `maxRetries`, `enableCacheControl`, `contextWindowSize` (override model's context window size), `modalities` (override auto-detected input modalities), `customHeaders` (custom HTTP headers for API requests), and `extra_body` (additional body parameters for OpenAI-compatible API requests only), along with fine-tuning knobs under `samplingParams` (for example `temperature`, `top_p`, `max_tokens`). Leave unset to rely on provider defaults. | `undefined` |
-| `model.chatCompression.contextPercentageThreshold` | number  | Sets the threshold for chat history compression as a percentage of the model's total token limit. This is a value between 0 and 1 that applies to both automatic compression and the manual `/compress` command. For example, a value of `0.6` will trigger compression when the chat history exceeds 60% of the token limit. Use `0` to disable compression entirely.                                                                                                                                                                                               | `0.7`       |

-
-**contextWindowSize:**
-
-Overrides the default context window size for the selected model. Qwen Code determines the context window using built-in defaults based on model name matching, with a constant fallback value. Use this setting when a provider's effective context limit differs from Qwen Code's default. This value defines the model's assumed maximum context capacity, not a per-request token limit.
-
-**modalities:**
-
-Overrides the auto-detected input modalities for the selected model. Qwen Code automatically detects supported modalities (image, PDF, audio, video) based on model name pattern matching. Use this setting when the auto-detection is incorrect — for example, to enable `pdf` for a model that supports it but isn't recognized. Format: `{ "image": true, "pdf": true, "audio": true, "video": true }`. Omit a key or set it to `false` for unsupported types.
-
-**customHeaders:**
-
-Allows you to add custom HTTP headers to all API requests. This is useful for request tracing, monitoring, API gateway routing, or when different models require different headers. If `customHeaders` is defined in `modelProviders[].generationConfig.customHeaders`, it will be used directly; otherwise, headers from `model.generationConfig.customHeaders` will be used. No merging occurs between the two levels.
-
-The `extra_body` field allows you to add custom parameters to the request body sent to the API. This is useful for provider-specific options that are not covered by the standard configuration fields. **Note: This field is only supported for OpenAI-compatible providers (`openai`, `qwen-oauth`). It is ignored for Anthropic and Gemini providers.** If `extra_body` is defined in `modelProviders[].generationConfig.extra_body`, it will be used directly; otherwise, values from `model.generationConfig.extra_body` will be used.

-**model.openAILoggingDir examples:**
-
-- `"~/qwen-logs"` - Logs to `~/qwen-logs` directory
-- `"./custom-logs"` - Logs to `./custom-logs` relative to current directory
-- `"/tmp/openai-logs"` - Logs to absolute path `/tmp/openai-logs`

-#### Troubleshooting File Search Performance
-
-If you are experiencing performance issues with file searching (e.g., with `@` completions), especially in projects with a very large number of files, here are a few things you can try in order of recommendation:
-
-1. **Use `.qwenignore`:** Create a `.qwenignore` file in your project root to exclude directories that contain a large number of files that you don't need to reference (e.g., build artifacts, logs, `node_modules`). Reducing the total number of files crawled is the most effective way to improve performance.
-2. **Disable Fuzzy Search:** If ignoring files is not enough, you can disable fuzzy search by setting `enableFuzzySearch` to `false` in your `settings.json` file. This will use a simpler, non-fuzzy matching algorithm, which can be faster.
-3. **Disable Recursive File Search:** As a last resort, you can disable recursive file search entirely by setting `enableRecursiveFileSearch` to `false`. This will be the fastest option as it avoids a recursive crawl of your project. However, it means you will need to type the full path to files when using `@` completions.

-| `tools.exclude`                      | array of strings  | Tool names to exclude from discovery. You can also specify command-specific restrictions for tools that support it, like the `run_shell_command` tool. For example, `"tools.exclude": ["run_shell_command(rm -rf)"]` will block the `rm -rf` command. **Security Note:** Command-specific restrictions in `tools.exclude` for `run_shell_command` are based on simple string matching and can be easily bypassed. This feature is **not a security mechanism** and should not be relied upon to safely execute untrusted code. It is recommended to use `tools.core` to explicitly select commands that can be executed.                                                                                                                             | `undefined` |                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      |

-> [!note]
->
-> **Security Note for MCP servers:** These settings use simple string matching on MCP server names, which can be modified. If you're a system administrator looking to prevent users from bypassing this, consider configuring the `mcpServers` at the system settings level such that the user will not be able to configure any MCP servers of their own. This should not be used as an airtight security mechanism.

-#### lsp
-
-> [!warning]
-> **Experimental Feature**: LSP support is currently experimental and disabled by default. Enable it using the `--experimental-lsp` command line flag.
-
-Language Server Protocol (LSP) provides code intelligence features like go-to-definition, find references, and diagnostics.
-
-LSP server configuration is done through `.lsp.json` files in your project root directory, not through `settings.json`. See the [LSP documentation](../features/lsp) for configuration details and examples.

-#### mcpServers
-
-Configures connections to one or more Model-Context Protocol (MCP) servers for discovering and using custom tools. Qwen Code attempts to connect to each configured MCP server to discover available tools. If multiple MCP servers expose a tool with the same name, the tool names will be prefixed with the server alias you defined in the configuration (e.g., `serverAlias__actualToolName`) to avoid conflicts. Note that the system might strip certain schema properties from MCP tool definitions for compatibility. At least one of `command`, `url`, or `httpUrl` must be provided. If multiple are specified, the order of precedence is `httpUrl`, then `url`, then `command`.

-## Shell History
-
-The CLI keeps a history of shell commands you run. To avoid conflicts between different projects, this history is stored in a project-specific directory within your user's home folder.
-
-- **Location:** `~/.qwen/tmp/<project_hash>/shell_history`
-  - `<project_hash>` is a unique identifier generated from your project's root path.
-  - The history is stored in a file named `shell_history`.
-
-## Environment Variables & `.env` Files
-
-Environment variables are a common way to configure applications, especially for sensitive information (like tokens) or for settings that might change between environments.
-
-Qwen Code can automatically load environment variables from `.env` files.
-For authentication-related variables (like `OPENAI_*`) and the recommended `.qwen/.env` approach, see **[Authentication](../configuration/auth)**.
-
-> [!tip]
->
-> **Environment Variable Exclusion:** Some environment variables (like `DEBUG` and `DEBUG_MODE`) are automatically excluded from project `.env` files by default to prevent interference with the CLI behavior. Variables from `.qwen/.env` files are never excluded. You can customize this behavior using the `advanced.excludedEnvVars`setting in your `settings.json` file.

-## Context Files (Hierarchical Instructional Context)
-
-While not strictly configuration for the CLI's _behavior_, context files (defaulting to `QWEN.md` but configurable via the `context.fileName` setting) are crucial for configuring the _instructional context_ (also referred to as "memory"). This powerful feature allows you to give project-specific instructions, coding style guides, or any relevant background information to the AI, making its responses more tailored and accurate to your needs. The CLI includes UI elements, such as an indicator in the footer showing the number of loaded context files, to keep you informed about the active context.
-
-- **Purpose:** These Markdown files contain instructions, guidelines, or context that you want the Qwen model to be aware of during your interactions. The system is designed to manage this instructional context hierarchically.
-
-### Example Context File Content (e.g. `QWEN.md`)
-
-Here's a conceptual example of what a context file at the root of a TypeScript project might contain:
-
-```
-# Project: My Awesome TypeScript Library
-
-## General Instructions:
-- When generating new TypeScript code, please follow the existing coding style.
-- Ensure all new functions and classes have JSDoc comments.
-- Prefer functional programming paradigms where appropriate.
-- All code should be compatible with TypeScript 5.0 and Node.js 20+.
-
-## Coding Style:
-- Use 2 spaces for indentation.
-- Interface names should be prefixed with `I` (e.g., `IUserService`).
-- Private class members should be prefixed with an underscore (`_`).
-- Always use strict equality (`===` and `!==`).
-
-## Specific Component: `src/api/client.ts`
-- This file handles all outbound API requests.
-- When adding new API call functions, ensure they include robust error handling and logging.
-- Use the existing `fetchWithRetry` utility for all GET requests.
-
-## Regarding Dependencies:
-- Avoid introducing new external dependencies unless absolutely necessary.
-- If a new dependency is required, please state the reason.
-```
-
-This example demonstrates how you can provide general project context, specific coding conventions, and even notes about particular files or components. The more relevant and precise your context files are, the better the AI can assist you. Project-specific context files are highly encouraged to establish conventions and context.
-
-- **Hierarchical Loading and Precedence:** The CLI implements a hierarchical memory system by loading context files (e.g., `QWEN.md`) from several locations. Content from files lower in this list (more specific) typically overrides or supplements content from files higher up (more general). The exact concatenation order and final context can be inspected using the `/memory show` command. The typical loading order is:
-  1. **Global Context File:**
-     - Location: `~/.qwen/<configured-context-filename>` (e.g., `~/.qwen/QWEN.md` in your user home directory).
-     - Scope: Provides default instructions for all your projects.
-  2. **Project Root & Ancestors Context Files:**
-     - Location: The CLI searches for the configured context file in the current working directory and then in each parent directory up to either the project root (identified by a `.git` folder) or your home directory.
-     - Scope: Provides context relevant to the entire project or a significant portion of it.
-- **Concatenation & UI Indication:** The contents of all found context files are concatenated (with separators indicating their origin and path) and provided as part of the system prompt. The CLI footer displays the count of loaded context files, giving you a quick visual cue about the active instructional context.
-- **Importing Content:** You can modularize your context files by importing other Markdown files using the `@path/to/file.md` syntax. For more details, see the [Memory Import Processor documentation](../configuration/memory).
-- **Commands for Memory Management:**
-  - Use `/memory refresh` to force a re-scan and reload of all context files from all configured locations. This updates the AI's instructional context.
-  - Use `/memory show` to display the combined instructional context currently loaded, allowing you to verify the hierarchy and content being used by the AI.
-  - See the [Commands documentation](../features/commands) for full details on the `/memory` command and its sub-commands (`show` and `refresh`).
-
-By understanding and utilizing these configuration layers and the hierarchical nature of context files, you can effectively manage the AI's memory and tailor Qwen Code's responses to your specific needs and projects.
-
-## Sandbox
-
-Qwen Code can execute potentially unsafe operations (like shell commands and file modifications) within a sandboxed environment to protect your system.
-
-[Sandbox](../features/sandbox) is disabled by default, but you can enable it in a few ways:
-
-- Using `--sandbox` or `-s` flag.
-- Setting `QWEN_SANDBOX` environment variable.
-- Sandbox is enabled when using `--yolo` or `--approval-mode=yolo` by default.
-
-By default, it uses a pre-built `qwen-code-sandbox` Docker image.
-
-For project-specific sandboxing needs, you can create a custom Dockerfile at `.qwen/sandbox.Dockerfile` in your project's root directory. This Dockerfile can be based on the base sandbox image:
-
-```
-FROM qwen-code-sandbox
-# Add your custom dependencies or configurations here
-# For example:
-# RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y some-package
-# COPY ./my-config /app/my-config
-```
-
-When `.qwen/sandbox.Dockerfile` exists, you can use `BUILD_SANDBOX` environment variable when running Qwen Code to automatically build the custom sandbox image:
-
-```
-BUILD_SANDBOX=1 qwen -s
-```
-
-## Usage Statistics
-
-To help us improve Qwen Code, we collect anonymized usage statistics. This data helps us understand how the CLI is used, identify common issues, and prioritize new features.
-
-**What we collect:**
-
-- **Tool Calls:** We log the names of the tools that are called, whether they succeed or fail, and how long they take to execute. We do not collect the arguments passed to the tools or any data returned by them.
-- **API Requests:** We log the model used for each request, the duration of the request, and whether it was successful. We do not collect the content of the prompts or responses.
-- **Session Information:** We collect information about the configuration of the CLI, such as the enabled tools and the approval mode.
-
-**What we DON'T collect:**
-
-- **Personally Identifiable Information (PII):** We do not collect any personal information, such as your name, email address, or API keys.
-- **Prompt and Response Content:** We do not log the content of your prompts or the responses from the model.
-- **File Content:** We do not log the content of any files that are read or written by the CLI.
-
-**How to opt out:**
-
-You can opt out of usage statistics collection at any time by setting the `usageStatisticsEnabled` property to `false` under the `privacy` category in your `settings.json` file:
-
-```
-{
-  "privacy": {
-    "usageStatisticsEnabled": false
-  }
-}
-```
-
-> [!note]
->
-> When usage statistics are enabled, events are sent to an Alibaba Cloud RUM collection endpoint.
