[BUG] claude CLI tries to access nonexistent /home directories on boot

What's Wrong?

On startup Claude CLI tries to access some paths under /home (which are seemingly related to CI / cloud instances) that almost certainly don't exist on the user's machine. In some cases (e.g. when /home is a network mount) this causes long delays or errors. This should not happen by default in the production build.

What Should Happen?

These paths should not be accessed. This behavior should be gated by feature flags, command line arguments or separate builds
