What's Wrong?

Claude Code v2.1.37, Ubuntu 24.04 on WSL2 (Windows 10/11)
claude -p "hello" works perfectly
Interactive claude opens, shows welcome screen, then exits after ~4 seconds with exit code 0
No errors in debug log — process just silently terminates
Tried: unbuffer claude, TERM=xterm claude, clean .bashrc, different directories, fresh install on Ubuntu 24.04 (also reproduced on 18.04)
Auth is fine (Opus 4.6 · Claude Max)
Proxy: HTTPS_PROXY set (connection verified via curl)

What Should Happen?

no auto-close after 4 seconds.
