[BUG] CLAUDE_CODE_GIT_BASH_PATH required

What's Wrong?

Claude Code does not start anymore and does not even show the version string.
I have git and Claude Code works just fine with it, but the auto-update installed a broken Claude Code version, which demands CLAUDE_CODE_GIT_BASH_PATH to be set. I don't need that variable. It worked fine.
It only starts, when the Variable is set. But Claude Code could easily find it in the second default target directory, which is not the one it prints in its message: AppData path.

What Should Happen?

It should just start. Claude Code should not even rely on git bash as a dependency.
It is able to use 'bash' already and it is able to use 'git' already.
Just print the claude version, for that example. (Why do I have to set git-bash.exe in a Variable to show claude --version?)

Steps to Reproduce

claude --version
Claude Code on Windows requires git-bash (https://git-scm.com/downloads/win). If installed but not in PATH, set environment variable pointing to your bash.exe, similar to: CLAUDE_CODE_GIT_BASH_PATH=C:\Program Files\Git\bin\bash.exe
