Source Intelligence

DisclaimerUnofficial, and not affiliated with Anthropic. Nearly all of this is read straight out of what ships: npm bundles, captured prompts, published docs. Anthropic's own notes go in verbatim, marked as theirs. The rest is my reading, and every entry carries the strings behind it. If one looks wrong, vote it down and say why.

Claude Code v2.1.179

Git Log Isolated from Local Hooks and fsmonitor

When scanning recently-added files, Claude now passes four safety flags to git:

-c core.fsmonitor=
-c core.hooksPath=/dev/null
-c core.pager=
-c log.showSignature=false

This prevents fsmonitor daemons from slowing the call, local git hooks from running, pagers from blocking output, and commit-signature verification from failing on machines without GPG. The call was occasionally slow or broken on repos with heavy hook setups.

Evidence

New git flags (search for "core.fsmonitor=" and "log.showSignature=false")

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