When it is not set, the mode is `baseline`.\n\nThe check for `CLAUDE_CODE_EVAL_CONFINED` has also moved into a helper that looks at it together with two other conditions.\n\n**Why**\n\nBoth are mostly controls for testing and experiments, not everyday settings.\n\n- Area: Todo List\n- Names: `CLAUDE_CODE_TODO_REMINDER_MODE`\n- Tier: Use it now\n- Useful: 4\/5\n- Signal: 3\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
