Unclear It is unclear whether the filter keeps or removes these variables, which settings files it runs on, and whether the variable really sets where feature flags are fetched from.

What

The environment variable CLAUDE_CODE_GB_BASE_URL has been added to a fixed list of sensitive variables. The list already held HTTPS_PROXY, NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS, CLAUDE_BRIDGE_OAUTH_TOKEN and CLAUDE_REMOTE_TOOLS_BRIDGE_URL. The new variable sits next to CLAUDE_CODE_GB_REFRESH_INTERVAL_MS.

Claude Code uses this list in two places:

  • Cleaning a settings file: it filters the env section of the settings against the list, in the same step that handles managedMcpServers.
  • Inspecting a settings file: it checks whether the file sets any of these variables.
Why

Wherever Claude Code cleans or inspects a settings file for these variables, CLAUDE_CODE_GB_BASE_URL now gets the same treatment as the proxy, certificate and remote bridge settings.
