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 Code or claude-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
