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 v2.1.233

Env var to drop permission prompts left unanswered when a session resumes

Use it now
Useful3 Signal3
Permissions Notable not in their notes

Set an env var so resumed print-mode sessions drop unanswered permission requests instead of cancelling and re-asking.

CLAUDE_CODE_RETIRE_UNANSWERED_PARKED_PERMISSION
What

Set CLAUDE_CODE_RETIRE_UNANSWERED_PARKED_PERMISSION and a resumed print-mode session that finds no saved answer to a permission request it was waiting on will drop the request and move on, instead of cancelling and asking again.

Details
  • Applies only in print mode, and only when the resumed transcript has a permission request parked with no recorded response.
  • Without the variable, behaviour is unchanged: the request is cancelled and the interrupted turn is re-run so the prompt appears again.
  • With it set, the interrupted turn is skipped entirely and telemetry records the outcome as "retired_unanswered".
Usage
CLAUDE_CODE_RETIRE_UNANSWERED_PARKED_PERMISSION=1 claude -p --resume <session-id> "continue"
