I'm OK with the attribution, but I just didn't like a session URL appearing on a public repo all of a sudden. I was left wondering "did I just leak my private session?"

I don't understand why it isn't opt-in. Or at least a heads-up somewhere.

At this point it's believable to me that Anthropic might not even be aware of what features get added in a given release. It's hard to tell the difference between "they actively are against documenting all of the defaults they keep changing" and "they genuinely don't even pay enough attention to notice when their vibe-coded changes have changed a default". Functionally they're the same, and both would stem from similar (lack of) values, but I think it does kind of matter because it's essentially the difference between explicitly crafting an experience for users versus defining same things they want and letting the vibes end up driving it towards a bunch of user-facing emergent properties that no one has considered.

"Of course they were intentional in adding in an ad to everyone's git log" honestly night be the less cynical take, because the alternative is assuming that they actually look at git logs ever rather than only having Claude deal with it.
