What

Claude Code now detects when it was installed via Windows Package Manager (winget) for better installation source tracking.

Details
  • Detects winget installations by checking execution path patterns
  • Recognizes Microsoft\WinGet\Packages and Microsoft\WinGet\Links paths
  • Installation source now reports "winget" instead of "unknown" on Windows
Evidence

KF0() at line 370058 (winget detection, contains /Microsoft[/\\]WinGet[/\\]Packages/i)

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