Unclear Neither the name of the remote setting nor its built-in default is known.
What
When Claude Code creates a session, it chooses which version of the server's session-creation service to call. It now also uses the newer v1alpha2 version when a pool or environment applies to the session and a remote setting allows it. If reading that setting fails, Claude Code falls back to a default built into the program.
Why
More session requests can now go to the newer service.
