How to troubleshoot and block email leaks in Claude Code request headers

How to block the Claude Code email leak

AI guide

Why it matters

The article delves into blind spots in the official mitigation plugin's filtering and provides actionable code to inspect historical sessions and intercept leaks via custom hooks.
