[Bug] '&' command incorrectly triggers GitHub app installation instead of background execution

Bug Description
The behavior of the ‘&’ command seems to have changed. For Claude and feedback purposes, I intended to run the command in the background within Claude Code. However, the current version of Claude Code attempts to install the Claude App on GitHub instead of executing it in the background. It even tries to install it when it's already installed.
Environment Info
- Platform: win32
- Terminal: pycharm
- Version: 2.1.2
- Feedback ID: cbdf09d5-cbbc-4224-b30a-2542915d76df
Errors
& pnpm run dev:mock
⎿ Cannot launch remote Claude Code session.
The Claude GitHub app must be installed on this repository first.
