This page is larger than the 256 KiB this site keeps, so one side of the diff below stops where the stored text does.

from line 210
210210| `CLAUDE_CODE_AUTO_COMPACT_WINDOW` | Set the [auto-compact window](/docs/en/model-config#set-the-auto-compact-window) in tokens, from `100000` to `1000000`. Accepts a plain integer such as `500000` only: a value like `500k` reads as `500` and clamps to the 100K minimum. The effective window is also capped at the model's context window. Takes precedence over the `/autocompact` command, the `--autocompact` flag, and the `autoCompactWindow` setting. The status line's `used_percentage` always measures against the model's full context window, so once this variable is set, that percentage no longer indicates when compaction will run |
211211| `CLAUDE_CODE_AUTO_CONNECT_IDE` | Override automatic [IDE connection](/docs/en/vs-code). By default, Claude Code connects automatically when launched inside a supported IDE's integrated terminal. Set to `false` to prevent this. Set to `true` to force a connection attempt when auto-detection fails, such as when tmux obscures the parent terminal. Takes precedence over the [`autoConnectIde`](/docs/en/settings-reference#autoconnectide) global config setting |
212212| `CLAUDE_CODE_AWS_CHAIN_RESOLVE_TIMEOUT_MS` | Time in milliseconds Claude Code waits for the AWS default credential provider chain to produce credentials before the request fails with [`AWS default-chain credential resolve timed out`](/docs/en/errors#aws-default-chain-credential-resolve-timed-out) (default: `60000`). Raise it when a step in your chain legitimately needs longer, such as a browser-based SSO sign-in with MFA through a wrapper like `aws-vault`. Applies wherever Claude Code signs with the default chain: [Amazon Bedrock](/docs/en/amazon-bedrock#credential-caching-and-resolution-timeout), [Claude Platform on AWS](/docs/en/claude-platform-on-aws), and the [Mantle endpoint](/docs/en/amazon-bedrock#use-the-mantle-endpoint). Requires Claude Code v2.1.207 or later |
213| `CLAUDE_CODE_BASH_EDIT_DIFF` | Set to `0` to turn off the [diff of the files a Bash command changed](/docs/en/hooks#bash), or `1` to record it in every permission mode. Takes precedence over the [`bashEditDiffEnabled`](/docs/en/settings-reference#basheditdiffenabled) setting. Requires Claude Code v2.1.269 or later |
213214| `CLAUDE_CODE_BRIDGE_SESSION_ID` | Set automatically in Bash tool and [hook command](/docs/en/hooks) subprocesses while the session has an active [Remote Control](/docs/en/remote-control) connection, and removed when the connection ends. The value is the session's ID in `session_` form, the same identifier that appears in the session's `claude.ai/code` URL, so a script can link back to the session that ran it. Requires Claude Code v2.1.199 or later. In [cloud sessions](/docs/en/claude-code-on-the-web), read `CLAUDE_CODE_REMOTE_SESSION_ID` instead |
214215| `CLAUDE_CODE_BS_AS_CTRL_BACKSPACE` | Set to `0` to make Claude Code read the `0x08` byte, also written `^H`, as plain Backspace, or `1` to read it as Ctrl+Backspace. Either value replaces the platform default. By default, Claude Code reads it as Ctrl+Backspace on Windows, except when `TERM_PROGRAM` is `mintty` or `TERM` is `cygwin`, and as plain Backspace on macOS and Linux. Set `0` in a Windows terminal where [Backspace deletes a whole word](/docs/en/terminal-config#fix-backspace-deleting-a-whole-word-on-windows) |
215216| `CLAUDE_CODE_CERT_STORE` | Comma-separated list of CA certificate sources for TLS connections. `bundled` is the Mozilla CA set shipped with Claude Code. `system` is the operating system trust store, read only on runtimes with `tls.getCACertificates`: the native binary, or Node 22.15 or later for npm installs. See [CA certificate store](/docs/en/network-config#ca-certificate-store). Default is `bundled,system` |

317318| `CLAUDE_CODE_OTEL_FLUSH_TIMEOUT_MS` | Timeout in milliseconds for flushing pending OpenTelemetry spans (default: 5000). See [Monitoring](/docs/en/monitoring-usage) |
318319| `CLAUDE_CODE_OTEL_HEADERS_HELPER_DEBOUNCE_MS` | Interval for refreshing dynamic OpenTelemetry headers in milliseconds (default: 1740000 / 29 minutes). See [Dynamic headers](/docs/en/monitoring-usage#dynamic-headers) |
319320| `CLAUDE_CODE_OTEL_SHUTDOWN_TIMEOUT_MS` | Timeout in milliseconds for the OpenTelemetry exporter to finish on shutdown (default: 2000). Increase if metrics are dropped at exit. See [Monitoring](/docs/en/monitoring-usage) |
320| `CLAUDE_CODE_PACKAGE_MANAGER_AUTO_UPDATE` | Set to `1` to let Claude Code run your package manager's upgrade command in the background when a new version is available. Applies to Homebrew and WinGet installations. Other package managers continue to show the upgrade command without running it. See [Auto updates](/docs/en/setup#auto-updates) |
321| `CLAUDE_CODE_PERFORCE_MODE` | Set to `1` to enable Perforce-aware write protection. When set, Edit, Write, and NotebookEdit fail with a `p4 edit <file>` hint if the target file lacks the owner-write bit, which Perforce clears on synced files until `p4 edit` opens them. This prevents Claude Code from bypassing Perforce change tracking
321| `CLAUDE_CODE_PACKAGE_MANAGER_AUTO_UPDATE` | Set to `1` to let Claude Code run your package manager's upgrade command in the background when a new version is available. Applies to Homebrew and WinGet installations. Other package managers continue to show the upgrade command without running it. See [Auto updates](/docs/en/setup#auto-updates)
