What

Environment variables are named values set in your shell that change how programs behave. When CLAUDE_CODE_LAZY_ENV_GETTERS is set, Claude Code reads each of its environment variables the first time it is used. Without it, all of them are read up front, as before.

Why

This is an option aimed at making Claude Code start faster.
