[Bug] CLAUDE.md presence unexpectedly collapses welcome screen UI

Resolved 💬 2 comments Opened Apr 4, 2026 by PillGrimDestroyer Closed May 14, 2026

Bug Description
When a CLAUDE.md file is present in a project directory, the welcome screen shrinks to just 3 lines + logo, losing the full UI (recent conversations, tips, updates). Without CLAUDE.md the full screen appears. There is no documented setting to control this behavior. Expected: CLAUDE.md should not affect the welcome screen display.
