Wow, not one mention of the env vars that have a far greater influence on how the models actually work under the hood - https://code.claude.com/docs/en/env-vars

Very important for bedrock deployments and other not-as-standard deployments

Key for how I've deployed it - disable adaptive thinking, max thinking tokens, disable telemetry, etc

Article name: "everything the doc doesn't mention"

You: "they missed this feature that's in the docs !"

You're right that it's an important part of CC's config. But it doesn't fit the article's raison d'être.

Adaptive thinking isn't configurable if you're using 4.7 or higher though, so anybody on modern opus its basically useless.

> Opus 4.7 and later always use adaptive reasoning. The fixed thinking budget mode and CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_ADAPTIVE_THINKING do not apply to them.
