Claude Code source code leak: Did Anthropic just expose its AI secrets, hidden models, and undercover coding strategy to the world?

Claude Code, Anthropics top AI agent, just suffered a major source code leak. Version 2.1.88 exposed 512,000 lines of TypeScript, revealing memory architecture, orchestration logic, and 44 hidden features. The AI platform alone drives $2.5 billion in annual revenue, with 80% from enterprise clients. Competitors can now study background agents, autonomous daemons, and persistent memory systems. Security risks spike as malicious actors may exploit exposed Hooks and npm dependencies. Users must migrate to Anthropics native installer, audit API keys, and inspect local repositories.
