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.

Claude Code v2.1.139

Configurable Max Turns Environment Variable

Claude Code now reads CLAUDE_CODE_MAX_TURNS as a default max-turn override when max turns are not otherwise supplied.

Usage
CLAUDE_CODE_MAX_TURNS=50 claude
Details
  • The value must be a positive integer.
  • Invalid values fail early with a clear error.
Evidence

Max-turn environment parsing (search for "CLAUDE_CODE_MAX_TURNS must be a positive integer")

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
