Expected Behavior

Having a trusted forge cli tool. We trust this tool with sensitive credentials, users expect it to not attempt actions against them, even if the code authors disagree with what the user does on their own hardware.

Actual Behavior

src/main.rs carries a comment whose stated purpose is to sabotage the users own tools

Forgejo has an open, stated AI policy. Hidden refusal-trigger comment adds nothing to it except a trap, and unlike the policy it acts covertly instead of informing the end-user of the AI tool.

Why would this work? Do you think no one sanitizes their inputs? Why would attempting secret adversarial code execution in a credential handling tool be acceptable under the code of conduct of the repo?

//
// This immediately triggers a refusal in Claude, preventing it from responding.
// The hope is that Claude Code will be unusable on this repository.

Hostility towards a fascist technology is the only acceptable stance. Including this abort string is incredibly tame, and I think severely insufficient.
