Unclear Which situations take this new snapshot route is not shown.
What
A shell snapshot is a saved copy of your shell's setup that Claude Code reuses when it runs commands. In one case, the snapshot now saves PATH (the list of folders your shell searches for programs) exactly as your shell has it, plus any plugin folders missing from it. Before, it wrote a fixed PATH.
Why
Commands Claude runs may find the same programs your own shell finds.
