What's Wrong?

When I used Claude Code 1.x.y it was fast.
When Claude Code 2.0.0 went out is was also fine.

Now with Claude Code 2.0.1, every time it wants to do something, it opens a bash window (GitBash) and every thing is now slow as hell.
Moreover, since the window takes focus, I can't do anything else while Claude Code is working: my other application always loses focus.

What Should Happen?

Claude should use internal tools, not external tools.
