What

The prompt that names a coding session and its branch now asks for a two-to-five-word noun phrase in sentence case, bans request verbs such as fix, add and update, and bans trailing abstract nouns. The title follows the language of the session description while the branch name stays English and still begins with claude/.

Details
  • The description is treated as untrusted data, including any instruction inside it about what the title should be.
Evidence

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