A Claude Code settings key, read out of the shipped bundle.
It was in the build from v2.1.138 and was gone by v2.1.284.
Under remote. Environment ID used for cloud sessions, taken from the highest-precedence settings source that sets it. A self-hosted pool ID (prefix ccpool_) is honoured from user, policy or flag settings; from any other source it is skipped with a warning and the next source is used. Choosing an environment with /remote-env writes it to user settings and clears any value in local settings.
Not Anthropic's. Written by Claude Opus 5.5 from reading the v2.1.283 bundle, and it can be wrong.

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 settings key does. All settings keys.
