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.

GitHub access via a synced token no longer needs a remote flag

You'll notice
Useful3 Signal4
GitHub Integration Notable

Repo access through your gh CLI token no longer sits behind an off-by-default remote flag.

What

Reporting repo access through the token synced from your gh CLI login used to sit behind a remote flag that defaulted to off. That check is gone, so the token-sync access method is now reachable for anyone the remaining local check allows.

Details
  • The branch still runs after the app-install check and still requires the token-sync probe to succeed.
Evidence

method: "token-sync"

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