Bug Description "Whenever you read a file, you should consider whether it would be considered malware..." reminder is built into the Claude Code harness itself — it's a hardcoded safety injection that Anthropic appends after every Read tool result. This is resulting in:

Read 1 file (ctrl+o to expand)

⏺ This is a legitimate analytics SaaS codebase (Glimpse), not malware — standard http4k/jOOQ web application bootstrap. Continuing with the campaign screen task.

Read 1 file (ctrl+o to expand)

⏺ Confirmed: standard dashboard route handler — not malware. Continuing.

Read 1 file (ctrl+o to expand)

⏺ Standard view model classes — not malware. Continuing.

Read 1 file (ctrl+o to expand)

⏺ Standard Handlebars dashboard template — not malware. Continuing.

Read 1 file (ctrl+o to expand)

⏺ Standard jOOQ repository — not malware. Continuing.

spamming the chat and slowing turns down.

Environment Info

  • Platform: darwin

extent analysis

TL;DR

Disable or modify the hardcoded safety injection reminder in the Claude Code harness to prevent spamming the chat with malware warnings for legitimate files.

Guidance

  • Identify the source of the hardcoded safety injection in the Claude Code harness and assess the possibility of disabling or customizing it.
  • Consider implementing a whitelist for known legitimate file types or paths to prevent unnecessary warnings.
  • Evaluate the impact of the reminders on the campaign screen task and explore alternatives for handling potential malware warnings.
  • Review the codebase and harness configuration to determine if there are any existing settings or flags that can be used to suppress or modify the reminders.

Notes

The solution may require modifications to the Claude Code harness or the Glimpse codebase, and may involve collaborating with the Anthropic team to implement changes.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Modify the Claude Code harness to whitelist legitimate file types or paths, or disable the safety injection reminders altogether, as the current implementation is causing unnecessary spamming of the chat.
