Is there evidence that they use that information for anything other than browser fingerprinting or fraud detection?

That seems like the most obvious use case? Or maybe I missed something in the write up.

We can hypothesize that there may exist some for-profit companies that deserve the benefit of the doubt. Microsoft is not one of them.

This is pretty cool, have personally felt this limitation many a time.

Basically been relying on spinning up cursor / niteshift / devin workflows since they have their own containers but this could be interesting to keep it all on your main machine.

Thanks!

Yeah, I think there's a ton of great remote solutions right now. I think worktrees make the local stuff tricky but hopefully Coasts can help you out.

Let me know how it goes!

I'm curious how common this is or if this just affects this one user.

I opened up Hacker News and I saw this right at the top, and I assumed it had started happening to everyone. I thought, good thing I'm not running Claude Code right now.

I thought, good thing I've already hit my 5-hour session limit.

Yeah, this is exactly what I was thinking.

Maybe they’ll add the ability to sandbox the env variables from the agent’s bash execution via the Agent SDK settings at some point.
