CLAUDE_CODE_USER_DIALOG_TIMEOUT_MS
A Claude Code environment variable, read out of the shipped bundle. It has been in the build since v2.1.169, including the newest one read.
What it is
Set dialogExpiry to control how long a forwarded permission prompt waits before resolving to its safe default.
Not Anthropic's. This is the line from the earliest changelog entry here that named it, v2.1.224.

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.
