Claude Code v2.1.242 24 Aug 2026

Chrome connector repairs its own launcher permissions

You'll notice

Useful2 Signal1

Elsewhere

The Chrome launcher script is quoted properly and gets its executable permission repaired.

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.
