What probably matters to you Section of the release
CLAUDE_CODE_ARTIFACT_VIEWER_BASE_URL is recognised and URL building asks a resolver for the host, but that resolver returns nothing.
What
CLAUDE_CODE_ARTIFACT_VIEWER_BASE_URL is a new recognised environment variable, and artifact URL parsing and building now ask a resolver for the viewer host instead of assuming claude.ai or the staging host. In this build that resolver has an empty body and returns nothing, so the variable is never read and URLs still resolve to the built-in hosts.
Evidence
CLAUDE_CODE_ARTIFACT_VIEWER_BASE_URL
Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
