What's Wrong?

I tried to connect claude running in a windows command prompt to a project running in IntelliJ IDE. It failed to connect. I think the issue is the way the 2 products are reporting the working directory.

What Should Happen?

The /ide command is failing to connect to the IntelliJ IDE.
It shows the following error:

╭──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╮
│ │
│ Select IDE │
│ Connect to an IDE for integrated development features. │

However, claude was started in c:\projects\OWK\OWK-1.2.-Clean7.
These are actually the same directory as the workspace that IntelliJ is using.
I have claude v2.0.65 installed.
The IntelliJ Claude plugin is version 0.1.14-beta.
IntelliJ is version 2025.2.4 (Ultimate Edition).
Running on Window 11.
Not using WSL.
