# Environment Variables (Current Runtime Reference)
This reference is derived from current code paths in:
- `packages/coding-agent/src/**`
- `packages/ai/src/**` (provider/auth resolution used by coding-agent)
- `packages/utils/src/**` and `packages/tui/src/**` where those vars directly affect coding-agent runtime
It documents only active behavior.
## Resolution model and precedence
Most runtime lookups use `$env` from `@oh-my-pi/pi-utils` (`packages/utils/src/env.ts`).
`$env` loading order:
1. Existing process environment (`Bun.env`)
2. Project `.env` (`$PWD/.env`) for keys not already set
3. Agent `.env` (`~/.omp/agent/.env`, respecting `PI_CONFIG_DIR` / `PI_CODING_AGENT_DIR`) for keys not already set
4. Config-root `.env` (`~/.omp/.env`, respecting `PI_CONFIG_DIR`) for keys not already set
5. Home `.env` (`~/.env`) for keys not already set
Additional rule inside each `.env` file: `OMP_*` keys are mirrored to `PI_*` keys in that parsed file.

## 1) Model/provider authentication
These are consumed via `getEnvApiKey()` (`packages/ai/src/stream.ts`) unless noted otherwise.

## 2) Provider-specific runtime configuration
### Anthropic Foundry Gateway (Azure / enterprise proxy)
When `CLAUDE_CODE_USE_FOUNDRY` is enabled, Anthropic requests switch to Foundry mode:
- Base URL resolves from `FOUNDRY_BASE_URL` (fallback remains model/default base URL if unset).
- API key resolution for provider `anthropic` becomes:
`ANTHROPIC_FOUNDRY_API_KEY` → `ANTHROPIC_OAUTH_TOKEN` → `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY`.
- `ANTHROPIC_CUSTOM_HEADERS` is parsed as comma/newline-separated `key: value` pairs and merged into request headers.
- TLS client/server material can be injected from env values:
`NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS`, `CLAUDE_CODE_CLIENT_CERT`, `CLAUDE_CODE_CLIENT_KEY`.
Each accepts either:
- a filesystem path to PEM content, or
- inline PEM (including escaped `\n` sequences).
| Variable | Value type | Behavior |
| --------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `CLAUDE_CODE_USE_FOUNDRY` | Boolean-like string (`1`, `true`, `yes`, `on`) | Enables Foundry mode for Anthropic provider |
| `FOUNDRY_BASE_URL` | URL string | Anthropic endpoint base URL in Foundry mode |
| `ANTHROPIC_FOUNDRY_API_KEY` | Token string | Used for `Authorization: Bearer <token>` |
| `ANTHROPIC_CUSTOM_HEADERS` | Header list string | Extra headers; format `header-a: value, header-b: value` or newline-separated |
| `NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS` | PEM path or inline PEM | Extra CA chain for server certificate validation |
| `CLAUDE_CODE_CLIENT_CERT` | PEM path or inline PEM | mTLS client certificate |
| `CLAUDE_CODE_CLIENT_KEY` | PEM path or inline PEM | mTLS client private key (must be paired with cert) |

| `AWS_BEDROCK_FORCE_HTTP1` | If `1`, forces Node HTTP/1 request handler |
| `HTTPS_PROXY` / `HTTP_PROXY` / `ALL_PROXY` | Routes Bedrock runtime and AWS SSO credential calls through the configured proxy using HTTP/1 |

### Anthropic web search auth chain
Anthropic web search uses `findAnthropicAuth()` from `packages/ai/src/utils/anthropic-auth.ts` in this order:
1. `ANTHROPIC_SEARCH_API_KEY` (+ optional `ANTHROPIC_SEARCH_BASE_URL`)
2. `ANTHROPIC_FOUNDRY_API_KEY` when `CLAUDE_CODE_USE_FOUNDRY` is enabled
3. Anthropic OAuth credentials from `agent.db` (must not expire within 5-minute buffer)
4. Anthropic API-key credentials from `agent.db`
5. Generic Anthropic env fallback: provider key (`ANTHROPIC_FOUNDRY_API_KEY` in Foundry mode, otherwise `ANTHROPIC_OAUTH_TOKEN`/`ANTHROPIC_API_KEY`) + optional `ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL` (`FOUNDRY_BASE_URL` when Foundry mode is enabled)
Related vars:
| Variable | Default / behavior |
| --------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------- |
| `ANTHROPIC_SEARCH_API_KEY` | Highest-priority explicit search key |
| `ANTHROPIC_SEARCH_BASE_URL` | Defaults to `https://api.anthropic.com` when omitted |

| `VIRTUAL_ENV` | Highest-priority venv path for Python runtime resolution |
Extra conditional behavior:
- If `BUN_ENV=test` or `NODE_ENV=test`, Python availability checks are treated as OK and warming is skipped.
- Python env filtering denies common API keys and allows safe base vars + `LC_`, `XDG_`, `PI_` prefixes.
---
## 5) Agent/runtime behavior toggles
| Variable | Default / behavior |

---
## 8) UI/theme/session detection (auto-detected env)

## Security-sensitive variables
Treat these as secrets; do not log or commit them:
- Provider/API keys and OAuth/bearer credentials (all `*_API_KEY`, `*_TOKEN`, OAuth access/refresh tokens)
- Cloud credentials (`AWS_*`, `GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS` path may expose service-account material)
- Search/provider auth vars (`EXA_API_KEY`, `BRAVE_API_KEY`, `PERPLEXITY_API_KEY`, Anthropic search keys)
- Foundry mTLS material (`CLAUDE_CODE_CLIENT_CERT`, `CLAUDE_CODE_CLIENT_KEY`, `NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS` when it points to private CA bundles)
Python runtime also explicitly strips many common key vars before spawning kernel subprocesses (`packages/coding-agent/src/ipy/runtime.ts`).
