What
A large sweep moved direct process.env reads onto a generated accessor with one entry per variable, covering organization UUID, API key, account UUID, user email, effort level, auto-compact disable, Bedrock and AWS region selection, MCP truncation, telemetry opt-in, gateway loopback, tmux detection, tool search and the voice interim-forwarding flag. Names and behaviour are unchanged; parsing and coercion now live in one place.
Some tmux and CLAUDE_MEMORY_STORES sites lost their explicit trim before the truthiness test; other CLAUDE_MEMORY_STORES readers still trim.
Several one-line env-parsing helpers were deleted outright, including the gateway loopback escape, the telemetry opt-in, the remote flag and the AWS region pair.
The table also supports writes, which is how the entrypoint value is set.
