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_POLL_EVENTS

A Claude Code environment variable, read out of the shipped bundle. It has been in the build since v2.1.237, including the newest one read.

What it is

You can set CLAUDE_CODE_POLL_EVENTS in your shell, but settings files can no longer supply it.

Not Anthropic's. This is the line from the earliest changelog entry here that named it, v2.1.237.

Presence across releases

ReleasesReadingDeclared typeDefault
2.1.245 – 2.1.250 5 releases never mined — —
2.1.237 – 2.1.243 7 releases in the build bool —

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.

Changelog entries naming it

  1. v2.1.239Poll-event mode now also needs the entry path to have wired ingress

    Setting the poll-events variable alone no longer switches on poll delivery; the SDK entry path must wire it.

  2. v2.1.237Poll-events switch cannot be set from settings

    You can set CLAUDE_CODE_POLL_EVENTS in your shell, but settings files can no longer supply it.

    named in this entry

  3. v2.1.237Poll tool drains queued harness events and reports who sent them

    Claude can pull in queued messages from other sessions, stamped with who sent them, but only behind an env var.

None of Anthropic's documentation pages this site has a copy of carries this name.

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.
