Optional Auto-Exit on Idle

What: Claude Code can now automatically exit after a configured period of inactivity.

How to use:

# Set idle timeout to 60 seconds (60000 milliseconds)
export CLAUDE_CODE_EXIT_AFTER_STOP_DELAY=60000
claude

# Claude Code will now exit automatically after 60 seconds of no activity

Details:

• Disabled by default - only activates when CLAUDE_CODE_EXIT_AFTER_STOP_DELAY environment variable is set
• Value is in milliseconds (e.g., 60000 = 60 seconds)
• Timer resets whenever Claude Code processes a command
• Useful for automated testing, CI/CD pipelines, or managing long-running sessions
