Bug Description

I have a project named recommentat. Claude cannot handle that name and acts as if the name is recommendat, no matter how much I try to give hints/corrections. I reproduced the issue in an empty dir like so:

recommentat % claude
╭────────────────────────────────────────────────────╮
│ ✻ Welcome to Claude Code research preview! │
│ │
│ /help for help │
│ │
│ cwd: /Users/danopato/src/claudetest/recommentat │
╰────────────────────────────────────────────────────╯

Tips for getting started:

  1. Ask Claude to create a new app or clone a repository.
  2. Run /terminal-setup to set up terminal integration
  3. Ask Claude questions about your codebase.
  4. Ask Claude to implement changes to your codebase.
/init is analyzing your codebase…

⏺ I'll analyze the codebase and create a CLAUDE.md file with the requested information.

⏺ List(path: "../recommendat")…
  ⎿  - /Users/danopato/src/claudetest/recommentat/

⏺ The directory seems to be empty or the path is incorrect. Let me check if there's a
typo in the path.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. mkdir recommentat
  2. cd recommentat
  3. claude

Expected Behavior

Work with project named recommentat.

Actual Behavior

Claude tries to rename everything to recommendat, or sometimes just assumes that is the name.
