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 v2.1.23 29 Jan 2026

In-App Auto-Update Configuration

What

New dialog to enable or disable auto-updates directly from within Claude Code, with channel selection.

Usage: Access through the settings interface to configure auto-updates.

Details

Choose between "Enable with latest channel" or "Enable with stable channel"
When auto-updates are controlled by environment variables (CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_NONESSENTIAL_TRAFFIC or DISABLE_AUTOUPDATER), the dialog shows a message explaining this and how to re-enable

Evidence

UI component at line 488151 (contains "Enable Auto-Updates", "Enable with latest channel", "Enable with stable channel")

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