Then I have bad news for you about a large chunk of both open and closed source development today.

We also don’t know if it was “unleashed”. Claude will add a co-author line to your commit even if you just ask it to author or touch up your commit message or clean up your branch’s commit history or any of a number of things that result in the creation of a commit, even if it touched none of the code. This functionality actually saves me a ton of time and results in higher quality commit structure and messages.

Has this specific issue actually been tied to misuse of Claude?
