Claude Code v2.1.140 ·

User Identity Added to Branch Pattern Context

What

Claude now receives the current user's identity (derived from GITHUB_ACTOR, USER, or USERNAME, or the email username) to correctly resolve the $USER/... personal-branch pattern in rules.

Details
  • A new context line is injected: User identity: \<name>\. The \$USER/...\ pattern in the rules above resolves to \<name>/...\. Branches whose first path segment is a different person's name (\<other-user>/...\) are NOT this user's personal branches.
  • This prevents Claude from treating sibling developers' branches as the user's own.
Evidence

rm_() function (search for "Branches whose first path segment is a different person's name")

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
