What
When Claude Code restores the provider environment settings (providerEnv) from a saved background job's state.json file, it now runs those values through a validation and sanitization step, rather than copying them through unchanged.
Why
Validating restored environment data before reusing it guards against a saved job state being stale, malformed, or unsafe to apply directly.
