Description
v2.1.113 architectural change: Claude Code no longer runs bundled JavaScript directly; the CLI spawns a pre-compiled, per-platform native binary (distributed as a per-platform optional npm dependency). Aligns public distribution with the Zig-layer attestation architecture exposed in the leak and makes shimming or republishing a modified CLI significantly harder without breaking attestation.
Key claims
- v2.1.113 spawns a native binary instead of running bundled JS
- The native-binary switch aligns public distribution with Zig attestation
