DevSpace removes CLAUDECODE, CLAUDE_CODE_ENTRYPOINT, CLAUDE_CODE_SSE_PORT, and CLAUDE_AGENT_SDK_VERSION before launching Claude Code, so a DevSpace started from inside Claude Code doesn't make its subagent look like a nested session. The removal ran after the provider's configured env was merged in, so a value set explicitly in subagents.providers[].env was dropped too. That broke a real workaround: setting CLAUDE_CODE_ENTRYPOINT (for example to claude-vscode) to avoid the extra usage SDK-launched Claude Code sessions incur.

The Claude driver now receives the provider's explicit overrides, which the registry already computed but the Claude factory ignored, and claudeCommandEnvironment strips only inherited values, keeping any of those keys the config sets.

Verified on the real path: with the daemon deliberately started under an inherited CLAUDE_CODE_ENTRYPOINT=cli and the provider configured with claude-vscode, the Claude Code process the daemon launched had CLAUDE_CODE_ENTRYPOINT=claude-vscode and no CLAUDECODE, and the run completed. A unit test covers the precedence.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes
  • Claude Code now respects provider-configured values for supported session environment variables. When no override is configured, those variables are omitted from the inherited environment.
  • The Claude provider now applies configured environment overrides when preparing queries and launching commands.

Walkthrough

The Claude adapter now forwards provider-configured environment overrides through runtime and query option creation. The command environment retains configured values for listed Claude Code session variables and removes inherited values when no override is set.

Changes: Claude provider environment

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Pass provider overrides through Claude runtime src/local-agent-adapters.ts, src/local-agent-claude.ts	The Claude adapter passes envOverrides to ClaudeLocalAgentDriver. The driver passes them through runtime creation to claudeQueryOptions.
Apply overrides to the command environment src/local-agent-claude.ts, src/local-agent-adapters.test.ts	claudeCommandEnvironment retains configured values for listed Claude Code session variables and removes inherited values when no override exists. A test checks that CLAUDE_CODE_ENTRYPOINT is retained and CLAUDECODE is omitted.

Test the configured Claude env override through the registration path.

60-63: Trivial · Maintainability & Code Quality · Quick win

Test the configured Claude env override through the registration path.

The new test calls claudeCommandEnvironment directly, so it does not exercise the provider wiring. Removing the envOverrides argument at src/local-agent-adapters.ts:67 or at src/local-agent-claude.ts:297 would not fail any existing test. Add a test that builds drivers with a configured CLAUDE_CODE_ENTRYPOINT in the provider env, captures the query options, and asserts options.env.CLAUDE_CODE_ENTRYPOINT.

Add a registration-path test in the driver-building flow that configures
CLAUDE_CODE_ENTRYPOINT through the provider’s env and captures the resulting
query options. Assert that options.env.CLAUDE_CODE_ENTRYPOINT retains the
configured value, so removing envOverrides from the provider wiring causes the
test to fail.
