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.

Plugin eval sandbox separates its git config from the host

Under the hood
Useful2 Signal3
Plugin Eval

Eval sandboxes get their own git config so they don't read your machine's setup.

What

Setting up an eval sandbox now records a separate operator config directory and writes its own shared git config, common-directory pointer and hooks directory, so evals do not read the surrounding machine's git setup. On macOS the sandbox uses prefixed temp paths under /tmp.

Details
  • the temp path layout differs by platform; the config and hooks setup is unconditional
Evidence

operatorConfigDir: He()

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