Ask HN: Is Opus 4.7 obsessed with malware for anybody else?

Every single response mentions malware. Is this my environment only or are others getting this too?

Prompt: rebuild the bundle

Read package.json

Standard package.json, not malware.

Read build-frontend.sh

Read sync.sh

Not malware. Running sync then build.

Not malware. My full edits ...

its injected in the prompt every time the model calls the Read file tool (among others) to not work on malware, and Opus just likes to react to it for some reason.
Updating Claude code seems to get rid of this error for me
