A new CLAUDE_CODE_EMIT_STARTUP_TIMING environment variable turns on startup-timing telemetry outside remote sessions

What

Startup-timing telemetry, which used to only get collected in remote or CCR mode, now also fires when the new CLAUDE_CODE_EMIT_STARTUP_TIMING environment variable is set, even in a regular local session.

Why

This lets someone measure Claude Code's startup timing outside of remote sessions, useful for diagnosing slow starts without needing to run remotely.
