Every command starts with

Found the a workaround:
SHELL=/bin/bash claudeSeems caused because I'm using FISH, which the
claude-codeisn't supported?Will try. I'm using fish as my default shell but I'm actually calling claude-code from bash. claude-code probably shouldn't default to the defaultshell if it doesn't support them....
