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.

Session spawn aborts on host-specific write paths committed to a repo

Permissions

A committed settings file granting host-specific write paths blocks session startup with instructions.

settings.json
What

If a settings file checked into the repository grants write access to a host-specific path, the runner now refuses to start the session and tells the operator to move that entry into their user-level settings.json.

Details
  • A hard refusal with no override.
Evidence

Host-specific write-scope entries belong in the operator's user-level settings.json

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