alt Hacker NewsAmusingly, they deprecated it with a message of "Unpublished" instead of actually unpublishing it [1]. When you use npm unpublish it removes the package version from the registry, when you use npm deprecate it leaves it there and simply marks the package as deprecated with your message. I have to imagine the point was to make it harder for people to download the source map, so to deprecate it with this message gives off a bit of claude, unpublish the latest version of this package for me vibe.

You can’t unpublish a npm package with more than 100 downloads I think.
I think they are aware that things don't disappear from the internet. So they chose just to gently indicate that it wasn't meant for publishing.
You can say what you want about anthropic but they sure as hell are dogfooding the crap out of claude code lmao
