Unclear Where Claude Code reads CLAUDE_CODE_RESUME_HINT_COMMAND and what it does with the value is not known.

What

Environment variables are settings passed to a program when it starts. Claude Code now recognises CLAUDE_CODE_RESUME_HINT_COMMAND. It passes this variable on when it relaunches itself or starts a background session, next to CLAUDE_CODE_RELAUNCH_RESUME_HINT_FLAGS.

CLAUDE_BG_SESSION_CREDENTIAL is also now passed on in two of those cases.

Why

It probably changes the resume hint, the command Claude Code suggests on exit for getting back to your session. Its value survives a relaunch.
