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.

Brace Expansion Security Check

What

Commands containing shell brace expansion patterns (e.g., {a,b} or {1..5}) are now detected and flagged, preventing potential command injection through expansion tricks.

Details
  • Detects balanced brace pairs containing commas or range operators (..)
  • Properly handles nested braces and escaped characters
  • Blocks commands where brace expansion could alter command parsing
Evidence

New function ve9() performs brace detection; error message "Command contains brace expansion that could alter command parsing" (search for "brace expansion")

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