Add an idempotent step to assimilate.sh that sets Claude Code's commit/PR attribution to empty in ~/.claude/settings.json. It only appends the "attribution" key when it isn't already present (via jq merge), so existing local settings are never overridden — matching the 'append if absent' intent. Makes the attribution-off behavior reproducible on new machines.

Summary
Turn off Claude Code commit/PR attribution, reproducibly, via
assimilate.sh. (Additional request, not in the original branch plan.)assimilate.shthat sets Claude Code'sattribution.commitandattribution.prto empty in~/.claude/settings.json.attributionkey when it isn't already present (via ajqmerge), so existing local settings are never overridden — matching the "append if absent" requirement.Behavior
~/.claude/settings.json{"attribution": {"commit": "", "pr": ""}}attributionkeyattributionappendedattributionAll three cases were verified against
jqbefore committing.Why
Without attribution, commits carry no "Co-Authored-By: Claude" / "Generated with" trailers — the author is just your git identity (
Alex Kan), which is what makes the commits across these branches "from me, not Claude." This change makes that behavior reproducible on new machines without clobbering machine-local Claude settings.
