Bug Report: Windows Path Parsing Error

Description:
Claude Code fails to start on Windows with incorrect path parsing, converting C:\dev to C:\c\dev and looking for
non-existent paths.

Environment:

• OS: Windows (Git Bash/MSYS environment)
• Node.js: v20.17.0
• npm: 10.8.2
• Claude Code version: 1.0.98
• Working directory: C:\dev

Error Output:
C:\dev>npx @anthropic-ai/claude-code
Path C:\c\dev\src-tauri was not found.
Path C:\c was not found.
Error: Input must be provided either through stdin or as a prompt argument when using --print

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Open Command Prompt or Git Bash on Windows
2. Navigate to C:\dev directory
3. Run npx @anthropic-ai/claude-code
4. Observe the path parsing error

Expected Behavior:
Claude Code should correctly parse Windows paths and start normally.

Actual Behavior:
Claude Code incorrectly transforms C:\dev to C:\c\dev and fails to find the directory.

Additional Notes:

• The issue appears to be in Windows drive letter parsing
• Workaround: Use the web version at https://claude.ai/code
• Problem persists with both npx and globally installed versions
