It only applies when the entrypoint is one of `sdk-ts`, `sdk-py`, `sdk-cli`, `local-agent`, `claude-desktop`, or `claude-desktop-3p`, or when the client type resolves to `remote`; it is off by default with no fallback-true case, and it is stripped from subprocess and MCP-child environments so it won't propagate.\n\n- Area: AskUserQuestion\n- Names: `CLAUDE_CODE_QUESTION_EXTENDED`\n- Tier: Nothing to try yet\n- Useful: 3\/5\n- Signal: 3\/5\n- Present in the build but not switched on"}
