Checked 2026-07-12

Privacy and code-data boundary

Claude Code sends selected prompts and repository context to the configured model service; retention and training treatment vary by consumer, API, Team, Enterprise, Bedrock, or Vertex terms.

Training/data-use check: Verify the policy for the authentication path and workspace plan in use.

Environment

Install/setup time
0 minute(s)
Evidence scope
Bounded setup or capability check
Cleanup
Per-check temporary home and work directory removed. Shared cohort package cache removed.
Actions exercised
  • Created a disposable home, work directory, and isolated package cache with credential-like environment variables excluded.
  • Executed bounded check: Read the installed Claude Code CLI version.
  • Captured the complete sanitized stdout, stderr, exit status, and 0.13-second wall time.
Observed results
  • Command exited 0 after 0.13 seconds.
  • The command produced a successful local process exit; complete output is retained.
Observed strengths
  • The installed Claude Code binary launched in 0.13 seconds and reported version 2.1.205 in the credential-stripped check.
Friction
  • No blocking friction was observed during this bounded local check.
Limitations
  • No authenticated prompt, repository edit, hook, MCP connection, or model call was attempted.
  • This bounded cohort check is not a production benchmark or a claim of real user-workflow adoption.

Pricing assessment: No paid plan or metered provider usage was exercised; package or licensing, hosting, and provider costs remain workflow-dependent.

Privacy assessment: No repository content, user data, or provider prompt was transmitted; broader product data handling was not assessed by this bounded run.

Cleanup
Per-check temporary home and work directory removed. Shared cohort package cache removed.
Actions exercised
  • Created a disposable home, work directory, and isolated package cache with credential-like environment variables excluded.
  • Executed bounded check: Load the installed Claude Code CLI command surface.
  • Captured the complete sanitized stdout, stderr, exit status, and 0.28-second wall time.
Observed results
  • Command exited 0 after 0.28 seconds.
  • The command produced a successful local process exit; complete output is retained.
Observed strengths
  • Claude Code's retained help exposed interactive and --print non-interactive modes, additional-directory access controls, and agent selection.
Friction
  • No blocking friction was observed during this bounded local check.
Limitations
  • Help output proves local CLI startup only; it does not exercise an authenticated coding task.
  • This bounded cohort check is not a production benchmark or a claim of real user-workflow adoption.

Pricing assessment: No paid plan or metered provider usage was exercised; package or licensing, hosting, and provider costs remain workflow-dependent.

Per-check temporary home and work directory removed. Shared cohort package cache removed.
Actions exercised
  • Created a disposable home, work directory, and isolated package cache with credential-like environment variables excluded.
  • Executed bounded check: Resolve and launch the current Claude Code npm package in an isolated cache.
  • Captured the complete sanitized stdout, stderr, exit status, and 4.03-second wall time.
Observed results
  • Command exited 0 after 4.03 seconds.
  • The command produced a successful local process exit; complete output is retained.
Observed strengths
  • The pinned @anthropic-ai/[email protected] package resolved in an isolated npm cache, launched, and reported Claude Code 2.1.207.
Friction
  • No blocking friction was observed during this bounded local check.
Limitations
  • Version startup does not exercise authentication, repository access, or a model-backed workflow.
  • This bounded cohort check is not a production benchmark or a claim of real user-workflow adoption.

How this decision record is moving

Raw history JSON →

History begins 2026-07-14; trends appear after a second dated snapshot. Stars, version, release, pricing, integration, risk, maintenance, verdict, score, and momentum fields remain explicit even when a source has not reported them. Repository momentum is a normalized 0–10 RepoRadar signal; GitHub stars appear only where the popularity monitor retained exact timestamped observations.
