The moment that started this

I use Claude Code daily. Mostly it's a cool tool. A few weeks back while refactoring a large & messy bug-bounty codebase, it also touched a config file I never asked it to touch. I only caught it because I happened to see it while pushing the code to github, I saw a file appear in commit history which I never touch.

That's what pissed me, not the mistake, the lack of visibility. In a codebase that size, I can't manually catch every unintended write, every file it peeked into it didn't need. So instead of asking "is this agent helpful," I started asking a security question: what is it actually doing, and who's watching?

What I wanted

What has it read, right now, this session?
