You could just install one of those chain things so the door won’t open more than inch. The toddler isn’t tall enough to reach it. There’s non chain ones too, you see them in hotels, a little metal thing you flap open.
That would certainly be an easy off-the-shelf solution... Although if the door opens a crack, that also means a reckless toddler (is there any other kind?) could slam it on their own fingers.
There are some which are just hinged metal that can lock at a right-angle, one of those would give tighter no-finger-gap tolerances, while also being structurally weaker in case of emergency.
Claude Code is a subscription tier explicitly designed for agentic, automated, heavy usage. So the 'subscriptions are for human use, API is for automation' line is already blurry by their own offerings.
If the actual concern is use pattern, enforce that directly. What we have instead is metered usage + behavioral restrictions + product fragmentation across three separate offerings.
That's not a clean billing philosophy, it's layers of control stacked on top of each other with no coherent logic tying them together.
If subscriptions are for humans and API is for automation, fine. But then don't meter the human product arbitrarily and don't sell a subscription tier for automation while also restricting automation. Pick a lane.

Except it's not. It's a desktop, web, mobile, and CLI subscription product built on top of a usage-based API with a generous token allowance bundled with it. That generous allowance comes with the restriction that those tokens can only be spent through Claude product surfaces. Why would Anthropic offer their API at a loss and subsidize the profits and growth of other businesses?
Okay, totally meaningless, it didn’t prove anything.
