What
When Claude Code starts the process for a cloud session, it passes along a chosen list of environment variables (named settings a program reads when it starts). That list is now picked in one of two ways:
when a check reports the setup as safe, the base list is widened with several extra groups of variables
otherwise, the base list is used
Why
This changes which environment variables can reach the process started for a cloud session, which matters if that process relies on a setting from your environment.
