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.

NUL Redirect Replacement Is Now Safer

Claude translates Windows-style NUL redirections (e.g., 2>NUL) into /dev/null for cross-platform compatibility. This substitution is now skipped if the command contains <, $, or a backtick — characters that indicate shell expansion or redirection contexts where a static replacement would produce incorrect results.

Evidence

Safety guard (search for "H.includes(\"<\") || H.includes(\"$\") || H.includes(\"\\")"`)

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