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

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.
