What's Wrong?
Claude creates lot of claude-*-cwd files in temp folder but then it leaves it there and not clear things up. Would be nice to do some housekeeping on exit (perhaps it would be more useful to create one temp folder per session and put all temp files into that folder and then just remove folder on exist.
What Should Happen?
I'd like Claude to cleanup his stuff on exit.
