[BUG] Connectors/Customize settings page triggers macOS "git" developer tools popup on every load

What's Wrong?
Every time I open the Connectors/Customize settings page in the Claude desktop app, macOS displays a popup saying "The 'git' command requires the command line developer tools." This happens automatically on page load without me doing anything. I do not use Claude Code. Anthropic support confirmed this is unexpected behavior. I tried disabling Claude in Chrome but the popup still appears on any Connectors page.
What Should Happen?
The Connectors/Customize settings page should load without triggering any macOS developer tools prompts.
