What probably matters to youSection of the release

What

An environment variable is a setting handed to a program from outside, usually by whatever starts it. This release adds several, mostly aimed at hosted setups and programs that embed Claude Code:

These names were added to the lists that decide which variables are passed to, or removed from, child processes. CLAUDE_CODE_ATTRIBUTION_PROJECT and two of the SKIP_PLUGIN variables (not the _EXCEPT one) are removed from child environments, matched regardless of upper or lower case, as CLAUDE_CODE_PLUGIN_DIRS already was. A related feature-name list gains bridge_projects_entrypoint_name and projects_reply_gate_policy.

Why

If you run Claude Code in a container or host it for others, you can now have both you and Claude warned before disk or memory runs out, and keep plugins from starting local MCP servers. The bridge and SDK variables are plumbing for host programs and do nothing unless something sets them.
