Goodbye Claude, hello Pi direct repository linkDebated

Developers are divided between migrating to third-party harnesses like Pi for their customizability and control, versus staying with native tools like Claude Code due to concerns about stability, security, and vendor restrictions. The strongest disagreement centers on whether the flexibility of open-source harnesses outweighs the operational risks of manual configuration and potential Terms of Service violations.

Claude Code's "Don't Ask Again" exposes passwords in 1,122 public GitHub files direct repository linkDebated

The discussion centers on whether Claude Code's 'Don't Ask Again' feature is at fault for leaking secrets into public repositories or if the issue stems entirely from user negligence in committing local settings files. Conversely, defenders argue that manual review is fundamentally unsustainable at scale and that the industry must shift toward automated approval or robust sandboxing despite current flaws.

> Sometimes a regex is the right tool. I’d argue that in this case, it isn’t. Exhibit 1 (from the earlier thread): https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/22284. The user reports that this caused their account to be banned: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47588970 Maybe it would be okay as a first filtering step, before doing actual sentiment analysis on the matches. That would at least eliminate obvious false positives (but of course still do nothing about false negatives).

I have the same problem. If my sandbox includes `denyRead: ["~"]`, claude consistently tries to do things inside my home directory. For example, every time I start claude I tell it to "run pwd". And every time it says this: Bash(pwd) ⎿ /home/<username> ⎿ Shell cwd was reset to /home/<username>/Projects/<current-working-dir> This breaks a bunch of features in inconsistent ways (e.g., `git status` sometimes works and sometimes doesn't). There are issues reporting this problem to Anthropic but they are all closed with no helpful comments: https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/11067 https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/17053 https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/27255
In Go hard on agents, not on your filesystem
ZeljkoS·Mar 30, 2026
Update from the author: https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/40710#issue... "Update: Root cause found — this was a bug in a tool I built that was running locally for testing, not Claude Code. When the tool's configuration pointed at a local working directory, it would hard-reset that directory every poll cycle to reflect the remote — destroying all uncommitted changes to tracked files, exactly as described in the issue."

Sure looks to me like this whole case is Claude Code chasing its own tail, failing to debug, and offering to instead generate a bug report for the user when it can't figure out a better way forward. Maybe even submitting the bug report "agentically" without user input, if it's running on host without guardrails (pure speculation). E: It's a runaway bot lol https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/40701#issue...
