I opened this feature request https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/68284 and hacked around a solution that I thought wasn't so hard to bake into the Claude code.

There are other similar open issues.

However, my thoughts are that I think this fix as a native feature in Claude code is not in the best interest of Anthropic's income statement. For example, many regular users are currently not utilising the weekly quota usage and that unused capacity is shared among others who are either enterprise users or know how to precisely set up the loops.

Imagine this, if this becomes a native feature, developers would start scheduling tasks at 9 pm and would continue until they wake up.

What you think?

But the whole point of this is to prevent the distillation and identify the list of blocked providers. If a provider is capturing the proxy, they can identify and modify that as well, so it only looks legitimate to the model. What am I missing here?

I used my proxy https://github.com/softcane/cc-blackbox setup to capture this.

This is how it looks.

# userEmail The user's email address is <my email>. # currentDate Today's date is 2026-06-30.

      IMPORTANT: this context may or may not be relevant to your tasks. You should not respond to this context unless it is highly relevant to your task.

I also do not understand what's the point of this, because if I have a gateway that can detect it, then we can replace the text before forwarding to the model, so what's the catch?

I've been pondering over the same question, but also on an enterprise scale. For example, how could I scrub the customer data, like name, domain, etc., before sending it to LLM if my Claude code is using some MCP to fetch and debug an issue?

I mean, hooks are nice, but they are messy to manage/operate for many developers at a time.

https://github.com/softcane/cc-blackbox I started investigating the proxy path, which I think would be useful for such scenarios.

Me: Thanks! Claude, you did a great job.

Claude Code: Anytime. I'm glad we nailed it together. Happy to help. bla bla bla....

Me: Thanks! Codex, you did a great job.

Codex: Understood.

It finally clicked to me when Peter Steinberger mentioned that 50% of Codex's workforce is European.
