Claude's built-in instructions tell it how to make a git commit. They now come in two versions:
git commit -F - <<'EOF', which feeds the message in directly, used when a remotely controlled setting,tengu_goofy_church, is ongit commit -m "$(cat <<'EOF', the previous form, used otherwise
The setting is treated as off when the server sends nothing. The new form avoids an = in the command.
This changes the exact commit command Claude runs, which could matter if you have permission rules that match on the command text.
