Bug Description

I obtain dozens of scam emails per day since claude code divulged my email to arbitrary 3rd parties in the User-Agent petition header during conducting web searches without my permission. This should not be a environment alongside opt-out or opt-in behavior, it needs to be removed from the harness entirely. It is not for the fine of anyone involved: it does nothing for services which dislike agentic traffic, does not maintain my anonymity on the web, and is a goldmine for scammers. I am migrating my business to Pi alongside OpenRouter since I have no belief in anthropic preserving my privacy.
