How this was checked
Checked against the source by a first reader, then confirmed independently by a second reader who fetched the source without seeing the first reader's notes (Independent review agent (Claude Sonnet), blind second pass from passage text and citation only, no repository access, 2026-10-31).
Exact match in the post body after tag stripping. Published on Anthropic's own engineering blog, so it is the organization's own words.
