Summary

Olaf Alders analyzes Claude Code: Anatomy of a Misfeature, detailing an idle auto-continue feature introduced in 2.1.198 that allowed the agent to proceed after 60 seconds without human input. The feature was not documented in release notes, was later reversed in 2.1.200, and evidence of its existence lies in the compiled binary rather than public source or PRs. The piece highlights governance and transparency gaps in AI tool releases and discusses implications for unattended deployments and user trust.
