CLAUDE_CODE_SEND_FEEDBACK

Updated October 13, 2026 by Alex Sorokoletov

CLAUDE_CODE_SEND_FEEDBACK is a Claude Code environment variable: Kill switch for the new /bug feedback relay. The gate function bails if DISABLE_FEEDBACK_COMMAND or DISABLE_BUG_COMMAND is set, requires an allow_product_feedback capability and a firstParty account, then honors this variable: setting it to false disables sending, otherwise the path falls through to the server gate…. Added between v2.1.143 and v2.1.212 and still present in v2.1.294. It is listed in the official reference.
