What's Wrong?

Claude Code claims to execute commands in bash even though they're executed in zsh.

What Should Happen?

Claude Code should _actually_ execute commands in bash or show that it's using zsh.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Create a zsh alias such as alias greeting=echo 'hello'.
  2. Execute claude from zsh.
  3. Ask Claude Code to execute the alias: note that it'll show the zsh alias from the "Bash" mode.
