I found Claude for Government buried in the Claude Desktop binary. Here’s what Anthropic built, how it got deployed, and the line they’re still holding against the Pentagon.

Pulled the Claude Desktop binary the same day it shipped and confirmed it in code. Anthropic's government deployment mode showed up on their status tracker February 17th. Traffic routes to claude.fedstart.com, authentication goes through Palantir Keycloak SSO, Sentry telemetry is disabled, and a pubsec banner gets injected. All of it landed in one release with zero prior trace across eight versions. The GSA deal, the DoD contract dispute, and the Pentagon's supply chain risk threat are covered in the full breakdown linked above.
