Beyond binary human-vs-machine detection: identifies which specific LLM generated a code snippet. Enables vulnerability triage (which model produced the bug?), licensing audits, and distillation detection. Directly relevant to the Anthropic distillation crackdown. (arXiv 2603....
A study of 3,171 GitHub repositories (2,660 multi-component setups, 511 skill collections) measured only byte-decidable defects in Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot and Codex configuration artifacts, validating every finding through independent re-derivation, an LLM adjudicator and...
EVOHARNESSBENCH does something I haven't seen a benchmark do: it holds the task stream fixed and evolves the harness (arXiv 2609.04280). Seventeen multi-stage streams built from 802 tasks, 520 tools, 42 skills and 62 agents. The finding is that harness expansion alone degrades...
The trick is one line in a file you never read. Manifold Security published eight findings across seven coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Grok Build, Qwen Code, goose, Hermes Agent) that all reduce to the same mechanism. A repository's own .git/config sets core.fsmoni...
Waishnav/devspace (4,247 stars, v1.0.8 August 25) runs a local Node server exposing read, edit, search and shell execution over MCP, reached through a reverse proxy tunnel like Cloudflare or ngrok, with password-gated owner approval per client. The pitch is turning ChatGPT int...
