CLAUDE_CODE_ARTIFACT_REPL env var exists and is passed to subprocesses but nothing reads it

What

A new environment variable, CLAUDE_CODE_ARTIFACT_REPL, has been added to Claude Code's list of recognized environment variables and is now forwarded to any subprocesses Claude Code launches. However, no code anywhere in the bundle actually reads this variable's value.

Why

As it stands, setting this variable has no observable effect, since nothing checks it yet; it appears to be groundwork for a feature that hasn't been wired up.
