That name is now cleaned first:\n\n- Brackets and `<` `>` become `(` `)`.\n\n- Quote marks become `'`.\n\n- Symbols outside plain ASCII text are removed.\n\n**Why**\n\nA display name chosen by someone else, such as a Slack name, can no longer contain tag-like text that tries to pass itself off as instructions to Claude.\n\n- Area: Remote Control\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5"}
