The branding indirection that allowed a replacement logo and title has been removed, so the title is always the plain bold \"Claude Code\" text.\n\n**Details**\n\n- What the runtime check reads is not visible from the header code itself, so which of the two renderings you see is decided elsewhere.\n\n**Evidence**\n\n`oneShotsAllowed`\n\n- Area: Startup UI\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 2\/5\n- Signal: 3\/5"}
