Summary
Anthropic's Claude Code 2.1.88 update leaked 512k+ lines of TypeScript code via a source map, exposing unreleased features like the 'KAIROS' always-on agent and a Tamagotchi-style pet. A developer comment admitted memoization complexity issues; the code was forked 50k+ times on GitHub. While Anthropic called it a packaging error with no sensitive data, Gartner's Arun Chandrasekaran warns of guardrail bypass risks and cites operational maturity gaps.
