Unclear Whether the way these shell launches are matched also changed is not settled.

What

When Claude Code cannot safely understand how a command starts a shell, it gives a reason. Those reasons are now shorter. For example, one now reads "it runs bash with an rc file by a relative name" instead of mentioning the launch directory.

Why

The text changed, and this wording may appear in permission prompts.
