CLAUDE_CODE_OCHRE_KITE
A Claude Code environment variable, read out of the shipped bundle. It was in the build from v2.1.273 and was gone by v2.1.282.
When safeguards stop a response, Claude Code now retries once on the same model by default; set CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_REFUSAL_RETRY to turn this off

0No 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.
Presence across releases
2Build by build
10One 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.
