What
On Windows, Claude Code shows a hint about which shell is active, including a note that PowerShell is the primary shell but that each shell (PowerShell, Bash, etc.) takes its own command syntax. That explanatory text is now pulled from its own string constant and a different helper function, rather than being written directly into the hint code.
Why
This is an internal restructuring with no described change in what the hint says or when it appears.
How sure we are
Something disagreesSomething we can check disagrees with this entry, or the writer said they could not settle it.
The writer flagged doubtThe finding does not say whether the wording or behavior of the hint actually changed for users, only how it is assembled internally.
