The problem here literally is the non-deterministic model cooking up commands with the user email address in the header, and the harness not blocking that (and the implemented fix is to deterministically block that), not the harness deterministically hardcoding the email in the web search tool. No technical report I’ve seen has claimed the latter, although this particular linked report which is low quality and vague can be misinterpreted as that.

Seems that way... Here's how I interpreted it:

"Claude Code" refers to the harness, not the model. Web search is also one of the tools provided to the model by the harness.
