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 v2.1.228

Under the hood
Useful2 Signal3
Environment Variables not in their notes

The launcher now handles USER_TYPE specially when setting up the environment it passes down.

USER_TYPE
What

The launcher now treats USER_TYPE like the messaging socket and managed settings path variables when preparing the environment.

Evidence

"USER_TYPE"

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