DisclaimerUnofficial, and not affiliated with Anthropic. Nearly all of this is read straight out of what ships: npm bundles, captured prompts, published docs. Anthropic's own notes go in verbatim, marked as theirs. The rest is my reading, and every entry carries the strings behind it. If one looks wrong, vote it down and say why.

Reference / Environment variables

CLAUDE_CODE_DEBUG_REPAINTS

A Claude Code environment variable, read out of the shipped bundle. It has been in the build since v2.1.138, including the newest one read.

What it is

Set CLAUDE_CODE_DEBUG_REPAINTS to capture which components trigger terminal redraws.

Not Anthropic's. This is the line from the earliest changelog entry here that named it, v2.1.227.

Presence across releases

ReleasesReadingDeclared typeDefault
2.1.245 – 2.1.250 5 releases never mined
2.1.160 – 2.1.243 75 releases in the build bool
2.1.138 – 2.1.159 20 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.

Names beside it

Every environment variable in the inventory starting claude_code_debug, up to twelve of them.

CLAUDE_CODE_DEBUG_LOG_LEVELMinimum log level written to the debug log file. Values: verbose, debug (default), info, warn, error. Set to verbose to include high-volume diagnostics like full status line command output, or raise to error to reduce noise 2.1.138 CLAUDE_CODE_DEBUG_LOGS_DIROverride the debug log file path. Despite the name, this is a file path, not a directory. Requires debug mode to be enabled separately via --debug, /debug, or the DEBUG environment variable: setting this variable alone does not enable logging. The [--debug-file](/docs/en/cli-reference#cli-flags) flag does both at once. Defaults to ~/.claude/debug/<session-id>.txt 2.1.138

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 environment variable does. All environment variables.
