What
When a Claude Code session starts another program, it controls some of that program's environment variables. Environment variables are named settings passed to a program when it starts. One more of them is now cleared before the program starts.
The session also now keeps track of a tools machine.
Why
This may be part of work on running tools on a separate, remote machine. Nothing here changes what you see.

Something disagreesSomething we can check disagrees with this entry, or the writer said they could not settle it.
