Description
When viewing running processes in macOS Activity Monitor, Claude Code processes appear as the version number (e.g., "2.0.76") rather than a descriptive name like "Claude Code".
This makes it difficult to identify what these processes are, especially when troubleshooting memory usage or system performance.
Current Behavior
- Process name in Activity Monitor:
2.0.76 - Memory usage: ~400MB per instance
Expected Behavior
- Process name should be
Claude Codeorclaude-code - Version number could be shown in a separate column or as part of a longer name (e.g., "Claude Code 2.0.76")
Environment
- macOS
- Claude Code version: 2.0.76
- Running in Terminal/ZSH
