Preflight Checklist

  • [x] I have searched existing issues and this hasn't been reported yet
  • [x] This is a single bug report (please file separate reports for different bugs)
  • [x] I am using the latest version of Claude Code

What's Wrong?

When not using it for hours, very high CPU usage.
Updated the version, created a .claudeignore file so that it is not scanning a large number of files, but still present

What Should Happen?

When idle, should sleep and wait for tasks - no CPU usage
