What
When Claude Code reconciles settings after the environment changes, it now explicitly reads the CLAUDE_CODE_REPL environment variable beforehand and restores it (either re-setting or unsetting it) after clearing authentication caches. Previously this step only cleared the caches without preserving this variable's value.
Why
This prevents CLAUDE_CODE_REPL from being lost or reset unintentionally when settings are reconciled, keeping REPL-related behavior consistent across such changes.
