In a collaboration with Theorem, Claude proved security properties at the RISC-V assembly level in over 100 real-world open-source libraries — described as the first large-scale AI formal-verification effort on production software at that level. Claude also found bugs that had survived trillions of test runs.

Nightly build v0.26.0-nightly.20261022.bf66a26c97 adds daemon token persistence and a release fix covering every spawned vendored binary in the tarball exec-bit gate. Also includes managed-agent test changes reusing a same-key cancel.
