What
The routine Claude Code uses to detect what kind of project it's working in used to compute an inline check for an Xcode project (looking for .xcodeproj, .xcworkspace, or Podfile) and separately check for an AndroidManifest.xml file for Android. This has been restructured into two dedicated async helper functions that run in parallel, producing hasXcodeProject and hasAndroidProject results that feed into a renamed detection function.
Why
Running the Xcode and Android checks in parallel as separate, dedicated helpers is an internal restructuring that should make project-type detection clearer and doesn't change what gets detected.
