Claude Session URL appended to commit messages and PR descriptions by default(github.com)

tl;dr: Claude Code automatically appends a session URL (e.g., `https://claude.ai/code/session_...`) to every commit message and PR description it generates, with no opt-in prompt or onboarding disclosure. The feature request asks Anthropic to make this opt-in, or at least surface the existing `attribution.commit` suppression setting, since users typically only notice the links after they've already polluted their git history.
HN Discussion:
  • Session links are useful attribution and a good default for debugging and audit trails
  • Link rot will make these URLs useless, polluting durable git history with dead links
  • Anthropic's pattern of silently pushing default-on features via auto-update is problematic
  • Commit messages shouldn't be polluted with tool-specific metadata; better attribution methods exist
  • Clarifying context: the feature only applies to web/Remote Control sessions
