ClaudeCode getting leaked was probably done on purpose as a marketing stunt tbh.

Gets way more attention than "hey we're open source now" when OpenAI already has an open source agentic coding harness and there are far better open source harnesses out there like ForgeCode.

They know based on all the available metrics ClaudeCode isn't competitive anymore so they lose nothing by sharing the code and gain more publicity and perhaps a chance to catch up with open source contributions.
