Since October 27, CISA has listed it as exploited. You need Node 22.23.4, 24.22.1, or 26.12.1 (or later on the same release line), Bun 1.4.4, and Claude Code 2.1.308.https://stocasticparrot.ai/en/explainers/claude-code-hygiene/https://stocasticparrot.ai/en/explainers/claude-code-hygiene/Thu, 29 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMTYou know what you load on every request, you turn off what you don’t use, and you move hard rules into permissions: the monthly routine, with measurements from my setup and a prompt that does the inventory for you.https://stocasticparrot.ai/en/tutorials/turn-off-auto-compaction/https://stocasticparrot.ai/en/tutorials/turn-off-auto-compaction/Tue, 27 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMTTwo keys in settings.json turn off auto-compaction and idle compaction: you run compaction yourself when you need to.https://stocasticparrot.ai/en/explainers/workflow-or-agent/https://stocasticparrot.ai/en/explainers/workflow-or-agent/Mon, 26 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMTIn a workflow, you write the steps in code. In an agent, the model generates them one turn at a time. I explain what the difference costs (about 4 times the tokens of a chat, according to Anthropic) and the rule for choosing before you start.https://stocasticparrot.ai/en/explainers/auto-compaction/https://stocasticparrot.ai/en/explainers/auto-compaction/Thu, 22 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMTAfter compaction, an agent broke an explicit constraint in 30 runs out of 100, compared with 0 before (Wang et al., July 2026): the summary keeps the task and loses the rails.https://stocasticparrot.ai/en/explainers/frontend-is-dead/https://stocasticparrot.ai/en/explainers/frontend-is-dead/Sun, 17 May 2026 00:00:00 GMTThe frontend has relied on three monopolies (interface, persuasion, and decision), and it’s losing all three. With personal agents, value moves to APIs, MCP, A2A, x402, and ERC-8004, and a website has to become queryable by a machine, not just convincing to a human.https://stocasticparrot.ai/en/explainers/agentic-economy/https://stocasticparrot.ai/en/explainers/agentic-economy/Wed, 18 Feb 2026 00:00:00 GMTWhen AI agents search, compare, and pay on our behalf, the web moves from user experience to machine experience: what happens to attention, work, and social control, from x402’s pay-per-request payments to prices falling toward marginal cost.
