An r/ClaudeAI thread reports desktop launching multiple subagents automatically and degrading an M4 Pro into system-wide lag, 84 upvotes and 28 comments. Single anecdote, no vendor confirmation, no repro steps, so treat it as a lead. 2.1.226 shipped the same window with unspecified "bug fixes and reliability improvements."

Go run git log --format=%B -20 | grep Claude-Session in a repo you've been agenting on. If you get hits, you've been publishing a trailer you never agreed to. A 270-upvote PSA on r/ClaudeAI documented that Claude Code appends a Claude-Session: git trailer to commits and drops...
A 167-upvote r/ClaudeAI thread with 79 comments asks what people mean by "their harness," and the answers cleanly separate the inner harness (Claude Code, Codex) from a custom outer loop supervising it. The same split shows up in a quoted Anthropic newsletter excerpt describin...
