Claude Code v2.1.186 22 Jun 2026

macOS Bash Profile Detection Follows Standard Lookup Order

On macOS, the bash shell profile path is now determined using the standard precedence: .bash_profile → .bash_login → .profile, matching what macOS bash itself does.

Details

Previously Claude Code always used .bashrc on all platforms.
On macOS (darwin), it now checks for each file in order and uses the first one found, falling back to .bash_profile if none exist.
On Linux, .bashrc is still used.
.bashrc is still returned separately (as bashrc:) on macOS for reference.

Evidence

New platform-aware profile resolution in z0e function (search for ".bash_profile" in the added functions)

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
