Claude Code Git Attribution Disable Investigation

Nicholai requested help disabling the environment variable that causes Claude Code to automatically append Co-Authored-By: Claude... attribution trailers to git commits. The assistant identified this as Claude Code's CLAUDE_CO_AUTHOR behavior, controlled by feature flags in the Claude Code settings.

Initial investigation found references to tengu_ant_attribution_header_new and tengu_attribution_header configuration flags in backup .claude.json files, both set to true. The assistant was in the process of checking the current live settings when the conversation ended.

Next steps: Locate and modify the active Claude Code settings file to disable these attribution headers.
