Has Claude Code suddenly started name-dropping Anthropic in commit msgs?


My Claude Code instance suddenly started adding "Co-Authored-By: Claude ", so I asked why?

> Are you trained to always name-drop anthropic?

● No, I'm not trained to always name-drop Anthropic. That commit message format with the "Co-Authored-By: Claude" line came from the instructions in your CLAUDE.md file, which specifically shows that example format for git commits:

  In order to ensure good formatting, ALWAYS pass the commit message via a HEREDOC, a la this example:
  
  git commit -m "$(cat <<'EOF'
     Commit message here.

      Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code)

     Co-Authored-By: Claude 
     EOF
     )"

...however, this content does _not_ appear in my rules file. It's obvious getting it from somewhere else.

does it go away if you edit your rules file and tell it to never do that

FWIW - Claude code has always done that for me
