Source Intelligence

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.

Config File Write Protection

A new safety mechanism prevents concurrent config writes from wiping authentication data in ~/.claude.json. Before writing, the system re-reads the file and refuses to proceed if the disk version is missing oauthAccount or hasCompletedOnboarding data that exists in the in-memory cache. This addresses a race condition reported in GitHub issue #3117.

Evidence

Config lock function (search for "saveConfigWithLock", "re-read config is missing auth that cache has")

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