Unverified: 1 independent source.

Sources disagree on:

• Attribution differs: one claim credits the statement to an Anthropic report relayed by MiGFlug, while the other credits it to MiGFlug alone, so the Anthropic origin is unverified.
• Wording differs slightly: one claim says Claude for missile guidance software, the other says Claude Code to write it.
