Problem Statement
Claude Code URL Handler app install path is hardcoded to ~/Applications/ with no installMethod-style override. It recreates itself every ~24 hours, so manual deletion isn't a durable solution. My mac is managed by Corp IT who actively restricts ~/Applications/, making this a policy compliance issue.
Proposed Solution
Either a config option for install path, or a flag to disable URL handler installation entirely
