`--no-browser`

A Claude Code CLI flag, read out of the shipped bundle. It has been in the build since v2.1.186, including the newest one read.

What it is

Nobody has written a line about this one. It is not in any of Anthropic's reference tables and no changelog entry here carries a description of it. It is in the build, which is the whole of what this page can claim.

Presence across releases

Releases	Reading	Declared type	Default
2.1.245 – 2.1.250 5 releases	never mined	—	—
2.1.186 – 2.1.243 53 releases	in the build	—	—

A row reading never mined is a release with no archived bundle behind it. Nothing was read out of it, so nothing here says whether the name was in it. A declared type or a default is only ever what that release's own bundle stated.

Changelog entries naming it

No changelog entry here has ever named it. That is a statement about what has been written, not about the name: it has been in the build since v2.1.186 without anybody writing a line about it.

A reference table page is one whose own table defines this name, and it is where the description above came from. A page that mentions it carries the name somewhere in its text and may say nothing about it at all. Every page carrying it.

Names beside it

Every CLI flag in the inventory starting --no, up to twelve of them.

Read out of the published npm bundle release by release, and out of Anthropic's own documentation as this site captured it. Nothing on this page is a description anybody here wrote about what the CLI flag does. All CLI flags.
