Bug Description
'CLI/VS Code extension takes 45+ seconds to start on macOS due to slow system CA trust store lookup (TrustSettings::CreateTrustSettings). Confirmed via debug log and sample stack trace. Workaround: setting CLAUDE_CODE_CERT_STORE=bundled in ~/.claude/settings.json env block fixes it (45s → ~4s).' Keep the deep debug log / sample output as an attachment or a collapsed details block if the form allows it, rather than pasting everything inline.
