Find .gov domain strings in bundled Claude Code binaries on macOS. Requires Python 3.

A developer published a short shell script that scans the bundled Claude Code binaries on macOS for embedded .gov domain strings, using Python 3 to read the local files under the Claude application support directory. The script performs no network requests and does not execute Claude, printing any matching hostnames it finds or a message if the binary is absent.
