Claude Code Source Map Leak (March 2026): 513K Lines Exposed via npm Source Map, Followed by DMCA Overreach
On March 31, 2026 {{Anthropic}} accidentally published a 59.8 MB JavaScript {{source map}} file in npm package `@anthropic-ai/claude-code` v2.1.88, exposing 513,000 lines of unobfuscated TypeScript across 1,906 files.

Anthropic iMessage Plugin: Official Claude Code Integration Violates Apple's Terms of Service (April 2026)
In April 2026 Anthropic officially shipped an iMessage plugin for {{Claude Code}} that reads macOS's chat.db directly and scripts Messages via AppleScript — actions multiple clauses of Apple's terms of service explicitly prohibit. The plugin is hosted at anthropics/claude-plugins-official on GitHub and was promoted by Anthropic engineers on Twitter.

The {{Claude Code}} CLI tool itself is free to download. The $200/month Claude Max subscription pays for a quota of inference billed against Anthropic's API endpoints at favorable internal rates — roughly equivalent to ~$5,000/month of pay-as-you-go API usage at retail prices.

Roughly 1.5 weeks before publishing an official iMessage plugin that violates Apple's terms, {{Anthropic}} sent legal threats to the {{OpenCode}} project forcing removal of functionality that let users access their Claude Code subscription from a third-party harness. The selective-enforcement pattern — strict to outsiders, lenient to itself — is the structural complaint.
