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.

Files received from a peer session are verified before use

Not switched on
Useful3 Signal4
Cross-Session Messaging

Files another session sends you are size- and hash-checked and confined to a staging folder before use.

Attachment verification runs only when peer messaging is enabled, which is off by default.

What

When another session sends file attachments, they are now checked before Claude sees them: the attachment list is schema-parsed and capped in count, each path must sit inside the transfer staging directory, must be a regular file, and must match the declared size and hash. Verified files are copied into an uploads directory with owner-only permissions. This runs only with peer messaging enabled.

Details
  • A file that fails any check is logged with a [peer-file-transfer] prefix and surfaces as a notice, rather than being attached silently.
Evidence

transfer path is outside the file-transfer spool

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