CLI binary appears as '2.1.62' (version number) in macOS TCC permission prompts instead of readable name

Summary

When Claude Code CLI requests macOS privacy permissions (e.g., Files and Folders / Desktop access), the process appears in the TCC prompt and in Privacy & Security settings as 2.1.62 — the version number — rather than a human-readable name like Claude Code or claude.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Run Claude Code CLI (v2.1.62) in a context where it requests a macOS TCC permission (e.g., Desktop & Documents Folders access)
2. Observe the permission prompt and/or Privacy & Security > Files and Folders in System Settings

Expected Behavior

The prompt should display a recognizable name such as Claude Code so users can make an informed consent decision.

Actual Behavior

The process is identified only as 2.1.62 — indistinguishable from an unknown or malicious process.

Impact

• Users cannot identify the requesting process without prior knowledge
• Creates a security UX failure: cryptic process names in permission prompts train users to either deny everything or approve without reading
• In this case, the user initially suspected malware or an unrelated process (OpenClaw) before investigating

Environment

• macOS (Darwin 25.3.0)
• Claude Code CLI v2.1.62
• Invoked via tmux pane (hive session, multiple instances)

Suggested Fix

CLI binaries that request TCC permissions should register a human-readable process/display name. Options:

• Set argv[0] to claude or Claude Code at startup
• If using an Electron or Node.js wrapper, set app.name appropriately
• Ensure the binary name shown in Privacy & Security matches the product name
