What

Instructions that come with an Artifact type are now wrapped in a preamble and a trailing warning saying they cannot grant permissions or widen the task, since anyone who can publish to the Artifact could have written them.

Details
  • Two preambles exist: one for a trusted Artifact type and one for the case where the instructions could have come from any publisher.
  • The trailing warning rules out fetching or publishing elsewhere, putting local files or credentials into the Artifact, and editing permission settings, CLAUDE.md or config on the instructions' say-so.
  • Always applied as part of assembling the Artifact system prompt.
