A Claude Code environment variable, read out of the shipped bundle.
It has been in the build since v2.1.186, including the newest one read.
Set to 1 to force strikethrough rendering for ~~text~~ in Claude's responses when your terminal supports it but is not auto-detected, such as over SSH without TERM_PROGRAM forwarded. Without this, undetected terminals show the literal ~~ markers instead of rendering the text as strikethrough. Requires Claude Code v2.1.186 or later

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.

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.
