@@ -106,7 +106,7 @@ Saturday 24 October 2026.
 - [Is Claude Code Open Source?](https://munderdiffl.in/blog/is-claude-code-open-source/): No. Claude Code is proprietary under Anthropic's terms. What its GitHub repo holds, what the 2026 leak changed, and which open tools sit around it.
 - [What Is Vibe Coding? Meaning, Risks and Safer Habits](https://munderdiffl.in/blog/what-is-vibe-coding/): Vibe coding means building software from AI prompts without reading the code. Where the term came from, when it is fine, where it bites, and what to check.
 - [What Is an MCP Server?](https://munderdiffl.in/blog/what-is-an-mcp-server/): An MCP server gives an AI agent tools, data and prompts over one open protocol. What it is, the host, client and server roles, and where Claude Code plugs in.
-- [Claude Code Pricing (Sep 2026): Every Plan, and Is It Free?](https://munderdiffl.in/blog/how-much-does-claude-code-cost/): Claude Code pricing checked 29 Sep 2026: Pro, Max, Team, Enterprise and API rates, usage limits, what changed this year, and whether Claude Code is free.
+- [Claude Code Pricing (Oct 2026): US and India Plans, Is It Free?](https://munderdiffl.in/blog/how-much-does-claude-code-cost/): Claude Code starts at $20 a month on Claude Pro (checked 22 Oct 2026). Every plan, API rates, India rupee prices, and whether it is free.
 - [Loop Engineering: Designing Agent Loops That Converge](https://munderdiffl.in/blog/loop-engineering-for-ai-agents/): Everyone engineers the prompt; almost nobody engineers the loop around it. Stop conditions, drain loops, retry with backoff, compaction cycles, breaker escalation, budgets, and human gates — the outer-loop mechanics that make an agent converge instead of run away.
 - [Review Agent Work Where It Happens](https://munderdiffl.in/blog/review-agent-work-where-it-happens/): AI agents produce diffs faster than humans can review them, and alt-tabbing to an external editor breaks supervision flow. The case for review-in-place: Munder Difflin's built-in Monaco IDE puts a CHANGES rail and side-by-side diffs vs HEAD right on the office floor.
 - [Voice Is a Control Plane, Not a Gimmick](https://munderdiffl.in/blog/voice-as-a-control-plane-for-agent-fleets/): Voice is a terrible way to write code and a great way to run a fleet. Why low-bandwidth commands over high-bandwidth work is the right split — with Munder Difflin's Talk mode (echo-back confirmation, spend caps, michael-voice attribution) as the case study.
