What
In remote sessions, settings can be served to Claude Code from elsewhere, and those settings can include environment variables for the project. Under a certain condition, Claude Code now does not apply these project environment variables, records that it held them back, and shows a message saying they were not applied.
Why
This is a security-style restriction on what served settings can change in a remote session.
Something disagreesSomething we can check disagrees with this entry, or the writer said they could not settle it.
The writer flagged doubt
It is not clear what condition decides whether the variables are withheld.
