The CLAUDE_REPL_VERBOSE environment variable and its message-filtering behavior have been removed

What

Claude Code previously supported a CLAUDE_REPL_VERBOSE environment variable. When set, it changed how the message-history compaction and resume logic worked: it would skip certain internal (virtual) assistant and user messages that weren't "thinking" messages. In this build, that variable is gone entirely, and the underlying setting it controlled is now hardcoded to off, so the skip behavior no longer happens.

Why

If you were relying on CLAUDE_REPL_VERBOSE for any workflow, it no longer has any effect, since the code path that read it has been removed.
