Additional Context
I have tried to change the working folder and Claude itself says it is a missing feature. Trying to create new projects or delivery multiple project is impossible as it is. Maybe if I was on Linux and have multiple Sessions running which in effect give me different vm's running. that might work. But I am too tired to go into that level of effort. Appears that I can create multiple Mac Terminal CLI's though.
