v4.1.16 and SDK v0.0.80, both August 26, strip credentials from git remote URLs included in the system prompt. If your remote is https://user:token@host/repo, that token was going to the model on every task (GitHub).

Cline released @cline/sdk on May 13, an open-source TypeScript agent runtime that powers their CLI, VS Code, and JetBrains extensions. Running claude-opus-4.7, Cline CLI scores 74.2% on Terminal-Bench 2.0. Claude Code on the same model: 69.4%. Same model. Different harness. Al...
Roo Code announced it will archive its VS Code extension repo on May 15 and merge back into Cline, the project it originally forked from. CEO Matt Rubens said the team needs to "constantly destroy and recreate to keep up with what's newly possible." Translation: the extension...
