What's Wrong?

2.1.243 (Claude Code)

As the title suggests, why does the installation package increase by about 10–20 MB every time a new version is released? Is there really that much new code being added?

I believe this is a bug. Please investigate and fix this issue.

What Should Happen?

We expect the increase in the size of the installation package to be manageable with each release.
