Source Intelligence

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.

What

A remote settings file may now contribute a much larger set of environment variables to the session.

Details
  • added: CLAUDE_CODE_API_BASE_URL, the OAuth refresh/scopes/client-id vars, CLAUDE_CODE_SESSION_ACCESS_TOKEN, CLAUDE_SESSION_INGRESS_TOKEN_FILE, CLAUDE_CODE_ENVIRONMENT_KIND, CLAUDE_CODE_REMOTE_SESSION_ID
  • also added the ANTHROPIC_* identity, org, workspace and profile vars
  • also added the home and config-dir vars HOME, XDG_CONFIG_HOME, APPDATA, USERPROFILE
  • only applies where remote settings supply env at all, and one admin path skips the filter entirely
Evidence

"CLAUDE_SESSION_INGRESS_TOKEN_FILE",

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