Preflight Checklist

  • [x] I have searched existing issues and this hasn't been reported yet
  • [x] This is a single bug report (please file separate reports for different bugs)
  • [x] I am using the latest version of Claude Code

What's Wrong?

Running claude starts a process named 2.1.37. This is surprising. I expect to see a process named claude in Activity Monitor and when scanning tmux window titles.

What Should Happen?

The process should be named claude (or similar).
