CLAUDE_CODE_SILENT_TURN_REMINDER
A Claude Code environment variable, read out of the shipped bundle. It has been in the build since v2.1.236, including the newest one read.
What it is
Claude can be nudged to check in when it has gone quiet for several turns, off by default.
Not Anthropic's. This is the line from the earliest changelog entry here that named it, v2.1.236.
Presence across releases

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.
