What
The small script Chrome uses to launch Claude is now written from a proper argument list, quoted for the platform (% doubled on Windows), and when the script already exists with the right contents its executable permission is reset to 0755 instead of being left broken.
Details
If the permission repair fails, it logs "[Claude in Chrome] Could not repair wrapper exec bit" rather than silently handing back a script that will not run.
Evidence
[Claude in Chrome] Could not repair wrapper exec bit:
Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
