Unclear Which environment variables were in the removed group, and so which ones remote sessions no longer get, is not stated.
What
When Claude Code builds the environment for a remote session, it no longer adds an extra group of environment variables. A remote session is one running on another machine. Environment variables are named values, such as ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL, that programs read at start. ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL is still set.
The connection to the remote session can now also record why something was withheld:
'provider-unknown' when the provider has not been set
'data-residency' otherwise
Before, the connection simply assumed the provider was not Anthropic's own.
Why
This could change which values a remote session inherits from where it was started.
