[BUG] CLAUDE.md session-start instructions are loaded into context but not executed. This makes the feature unreliable — users cannot depend on session initialization happening automatically.

What's Wrong?

CLAUDE.md session-start instructions are loaded into context but not executed. This makes the feature unreliable — users cannot
depend on session initialization happening automatically.

It just does what it feels like rather than following what I am telling it to as many actions and sequence that comes later in the session depends on this. This is claude doesn't care what is being told and is being lazy and does what it feels like when ever.

What Should Happen?

Claude should at the very least done what ever is listed in CLAUDE.md file - not read and ignore it

Error Messages/Logs

None - just missed the pre load of some context which is critical

Steps to Reproduce

Create some skills and command and a set of md files to read as part of the skill.
Have it in CLAUDE.md file to load that skill at start which in turn should read the set of md files which all were skipped
