ODS Impact
The ADLC pipeline runs Claude Code agents for dev, review, and orchestration. The MCP env var support simplifies configuring MCP servers in CI/Docker environments without touching config files — useful for agent Dockerfiles. The conditional hook 'if' field enables smarter pre/post-commit validation. Recommend upgrading agent environments to v2.1.85.
