That's not what steganography is. There is no hidden message here.
Your assertion baffles me. The CC client is sending information about its execution context back to Anthropic HQ in a sneaky, obfuscated way that most people wouldn't notice.
If that's not a hidden message, if that's not steganography, what is?
It's not sending it back. It's essentially watermarking the output, so that it can be identified if it appears somewhere unexpected.
