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_DIR_SYNC_OVERLAY

A Claude Code environment variable, read out of the shipped bundle. No mined inventory carries it: everything below comes from what this site has written about it.

What it is

CLAUDE_CODE_DIR_SYNC_DISABLE_ANCHORING turns off path anchoring, and seven sync variables are now stripped from child processes.

Not Anthropic's. This is the line from the earliest changelog entry here that named it, v2.1.239.

Presence across releases

The miner has never read a build containing this name. It is here because a changelog entry of ours names it, which is evidence that it existed and not evidence of which releases carried it. The inventory starts at v2.1.138 and everything older than that was never mined.

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.
