Unclear The finding doesn't say what consumes this captured hostname, only that it's produced in this specific case.
What
A new helper function returns the hostname from ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL in the specific case where the session is still classified as first-party but the base URL isn't api.anthropic.com, and no unix socket is in use.
Why
This appears to support telemetry or diagnostics around proxy or gateway hosts that don't match Anthropic's usual API address, likely to help identify unrecognized custom endpoints.

The entry above is what we published on the day. These lines were added later, as Anthropic's own pages caught up, and they sit beside the original rather than replacing it.
Added since

Anthropic's documentation has since written up ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL, on Connect Claude Code to an LLM gateway.
