What
When Claude Code renders markdown in the terminal, links are now checked against an allow-list of URL schemes (like http or https). Any link using a scheme not on that list — including links found inside tables and lists — gets marked as 'defanged,' meaning it's displayed as plain, non-interactive text instead of a clickable terminal hyperlink.
Why
This prevents potentially unexpected or unsafe URL schemes from being turned into clickable links in the terminal, reducing the risk of a malicious or unusual link being accidentally activated.
