Unclear It is not clear which values of these variables turn the watchdog or its reporting on.

What

Claude Code now has checks that decide whether to run a resource watchdog, a background monitor of the computer's resources, and whether to send reports from it. They read these environment variables, which are values set in the shell before Claude Code starts:

The watchdog records its process in a file named resource-watchdog.pid.

Why

This adds resource monitoring for remote sessions of the kinds labelled BYOC and CCR, steered by environment settings rather than by anything in the interactive screen.
