claude-channels-patch CLAUDE.md

claude-channels-patch CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for coding agents from wuzf/claude-channels-patch. It costs 482 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Project instructions for a Python patch that changes installed Claude Code binaries to enable the channels feature without normal Claude.ai OAuth access. The channels feature lets Claude Code receive messages through supported channel connections.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when maintaining or reviewing the patch script, including binary detection, anchor searches, one-byte replacements, and patching both JavaScript bundle copies.
Why use it?
They explain the binary structure, stable search anchors, exact byte edits, and safety constraints needed for the patch to work across builds.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

claude-channels-patch CLAUDE.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 5d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

CLAUDE.md

This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.

Project Overview

Binary patch for Claude Code that enables the --channels feature without requiring claude.ai OAuth authentication. Patches three gates: feature flag (tengu_harbor), OAuth check (accessToken), and channel allowlist.

Architecture

Python patch script (patch.py) that:

  1. Auto-detects all installed Claude Code binaries (native .exe + npm versions)
  2. Finds stable anchors — string literals and property names that don't change between builds (e.g., .marketplace))return{action:"skip",kind:"allowlist", tengu_harbor",!1)})
  3. Searches backwards from anchors to locate the exact byte to change (always ! -> space or 1 -> 0)
  4. Single-byte replacements — every edit changes exactly 1 byte, keeping binary size unchanged

The Claude Code binary is a Node.js SEA with two copies of the JS bundle, so every patch must be applied twice.

Key Design Constraints

  • No minified name dependency: Variable names like SL, D, OaH change between builds. All anchors use only stable strings (return values, property names, string literals).
  • Equal-length replacement: All patches are 1-byte changes. No shifting, no size change.
  • Backup-first: Always patches from the .bak copy, never from an already-patched binary.
  • Cross-platform: Pure Python 3.10+, ASCII-only output, handles Windows/Linux/macOS path differences.

Testing

# Test against a copy of the original binary
python3 patch.py --binary /path/to/claude_copy

Adding New Patches

When adding a patch, follow the existing pattern:

  1. Pick a stable anchor (string literal, property name — never a minified identifier)
  2. Use find_backwards() / find_all() to locate the target byte
  3. Verify the byte before replacing
  4. Expect 2x matches per anchor (or 4x if both plugin and server checks share the same anchor)

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
