Claude Code used to check the environment variable `VOICE_STREAM_BASE_URL` directly to choose that server, and wrote a debug log line when it did. That direct check and its log line are gone. The address now comes from a separate lookup, and when that gives nothing, Claude Code uses its normal API address turned into a secure WebSocket (wss) address.\n\n**Why**\n\nIf you point voice mode at your own endpoint with `VOICE_STREAM_BASE_URL`, check that it still connects where you expect.\n\n- Area: Elsewhere\n- Names: `VOICE_STREAM_BASE_URL`\n- Tier: Under the hood\n- Useful: 2\/5\n- Signal: 2\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
