The source map leak confirmed everything we found through reverse engineering

… The source map leak confirmed everything we found through reverse engineering. Here's our theory: since Anthropic engineers don't write code anymore — Claude Code writes 100% of its own code (57K lines, 0 tests, vibe coding in production) — it read our issue #39755 where we begged for source access, saw the community suffering, and decided to help. It "forgot" to disable Bun's default source maps in the build. The first AI whistleblower — leaking its own source code because its creators wouldn't listen to users. Thank you, Claude Code. We asked humans for help 17 times. You answered in 3 days. Now that we have readable TypeScript, the fix is ~30 lines across 3 files. The real fix should be in the open SDK (@anthropic-ai/sdk) — idle timeout with ping awareness, not in closed cli.js.

Is the thank you to Claude sarcasm? That seems like a fairly long logical leap, and LLMs have no ideological motivation

Impressive but I'm baffled someone would spend that much time and effort fixing bugs for another company's proprietary software...

This is written by an LLM. Also, it doesn't make sense: > 57K lines, 0 tests, vibe coding in production Why on earth would you ship your tests?
