it's also not defined in the spec

https://www.schemastore.org/claude-code-settings.json

it's also not mentioned in the official documentation

[jkaster]

It's documented right in the/release-notes

Version 2.0.62: • Added "(Recommended)" indicator for multiple-choice questions, with the recommended option moved to the top of the list • Added attribution setting to customize commit and PR bylines (deprecates includeCoAuthoredBy) • Fixed duplicate slash commands appearing when ~/.claude is symlinked to a project directory • Fixed slash command selection not working when multiple commands share the same name • Fixed an issue where skill files inside symlinked skill directories could become circular symlinks • Fixed running versions getting removed because lock file incorrectly going stale • Fixed IDE diff tab not closing when rejecting file changes

[jhargis]

@jkaster if it wasn't, we wouldn't be here talking about it. The implementation is non-compliant with the published JSON Schema.

[ltawfik]

the correct syntax is either: - "attribution": { "commit": "", "pr": "" } (new setting - to hide attribution) - "includeCoAuthoredBy": false (deprecated but still works)

[jhargis]

so.. to recap;

JSON spec updated: ☐ Official Documentation updated: ☐ Comment left in github issues: ☑ Issue closed: ☑

[OliverRhyme]

the correct syntax is either: - "attribution": { "commit": "", "pr": "" } (new setting - to hide attribution) - "includeCoAuthoredBy": false (deprecated but still works)

what to put in the empty string? why it is empty?

[jkaster]

@jhargis Sorry, evidently I misread your reply. I thought you were saying it wasn't a bug. Thanks for your help.

@OliverRhyme

what to put in the empty string? why it is empty?

I presume the empty strings are what cause the attribution lines to be ommitted.
