IntelliJ IDE opens Claude code terminal in .ijwb directory when Bazel for Intellij plugin is installed and running in a bazel project

Environment

• Platform (select one):
• [ ] Anthropic API
• [x] AWS Bedrock
• [ ] Google Vertex AI
• [x] Other: Claude Code [Beta] IntelliJ plugin 0.1.11-beta
• Claude CLI version: 1.0.67 (Claude Code)
• Operating System: MacOS Sequoia 15.5
• Terminal: InteliJ IDE Terminal - IntelliJ IDEA 2025.1.4.1 (Ultimate Edition)

Bug Description

When Bazel for Intellij plugin is installed (I have version 2025.07.24.0.1-api-version-251) When starting Claude code in the IDE terminal it starts of in the .ijwb directory instead of the project root directory.
This is a problem as for example Claude code can't find it's license.

Steps to Reproduce

1. install IntelliJ and install bazel plugin for IntelliJ
2. Start a new bazel project
3. Install Claude code and IntelliJ Claude Code [Beta] plugin
4. Click the Anthropic icon to start Claude code in ide terminal
5. note cwd is wrong

Expected Behavior

Claude code would open with cwd as project root

Actual Behavior

Claude code opens with cwd as .ijwb directory (which is the bazel plugin configuration directory)

Workaround

1. Press ctrl+d twice to exit Claude code
2. cd .. to navigate to actual project root
3. Start Claude code again Claude
