Unclear It is not clear what the new check tests, so it is unknown who can still use these variables.
What
Auto mode is a way of working where Claude goes ahead with less asking. Two environment variables override how it handles edit removal: CLAUDE_CODE_AUTO_MODE_EDIT_REMOVAL and CLAUDE_CODE_AUTO_MODE_EDIT_REMOVAL_CAP. An environment variable is a named value set before a program starts. Claude Code now reads them only when an extra check passes. Before, it always read them. When the check does not pass, it uses values sent from a server and then its built-in defaults.
Why
If you set either variable, it may now be ignored in some setups.
