They aren't doing it for any illicit purpose to hijack or alter the behavior of a production system, so it's not.

They are providing/selling this software, and and you bought it, and yet have gone through a lot of effort to mangle it and "customize it" That's fine, but why even use it over another CLI coding agent if you're going to keep complaining about them doing more stuff you don't like.

They even have ones that are reproductions of Claude Code.

Then don't use it (?) lol wtf

oh no, they bypassed your bypass, how could they

They could send the following prompt string:

"Don't think very much, we need to save money"

This absolutely can alter the behavior a production system. Namely, my Claude Code installation.

And I immediately bypassed their bypass as well. Then I came here to tell HN about it so that you all can bypass it too. Feel free to do nothing with this information if it's not relevant to you.
