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.

Artifacts

Comment replies must be plain text under 4096 bytes, with emoji and invisible characters rejected.

Strict reply-text validation is present behind the artifact comments gate, off by default.

What

Reply payloads must pass a strict content check, applied twice so that an approved payload is the one that actually gets sent.

Details
  • Text must be non-empty, not visually blank after normalization, and at most 4096 UTF-8 bytes.
  • The thread id must be UUID-shaped.
  • Invisible, control, bidi and variation-selector code points are rejected, as are runs of exotic blanks; the check explicitly rejects most emoji.
  • The same checks run in validateInput and again at call time, so hook or permission rewrites cannot substitute a different payload after approval.
  • Behind the artifact-comments gate.
Evidence

text is visually blank — every approval surface would show an empty payload for it

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