[BUG] Windows 11: approval dialog shows Mac shortcut symbol (⌘↵) instead of Ctrl+Enter

What's Wrong?
Platform: Windows 11 Pro (10.0.26200)
Claude Code: Desktop app (Windows)
Bug:
The permission approval dialog displays the Mac Command key shortcut ⌘↵ on Windows. It should display Ctrl+Enter.
The correct key (Ctrl+Enter) still works — the label is wrong, not the binding. This appears to be a platform detection regression; earlier versions of Claude Code displayed the correct Windows shortcut.
Screenshot: attached
Steps to reproduce:
- Run Claude Code on Windows 11
- Trigger any action that requires approval (e.g. a file edit)
- Observe the "Allow once" button shows ⌘↵ instead of Ctrl+Enter

What Should Happen?
Ctrl + Enter should be the prompted button input
