A Claude Code environment variable, read out of the shipped bundle.
It has been in the build since v2.1.193, including the newest one read.
Set to 1 to send the PushNotification tool's desktop notification even while you are typing in or focused on the terminal. By default the tool skips both the desktop notification and the mobile push when it detects recent keyboard activity or terminal focus. This variable disables only that local check, so the server can still suppress the mobile push when it detects that you are active. Requires Claude Code v2.1.193 or later
Thinking display updates are on by default, and CLAUDE_CODE_THINKING_DISPLAY_UPDATES can override that

No release's published evidence quotes this name. The ledger indexes the Evidence lines of every changelog on this site, so this says nobody here has ever quoted it; it says nothing about how old the name is.

One row per release since the first build this name was read out of. Absent means the build was read and the name was not in it, never mined means no bundle for that release was ever archived, and a declared type or a default is only ever what that release's own bundle stated.

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.
