What
When Claude Code passes command-line options on to another process, it now rewrites certain short options whose value begins with a dash (-). The option and its value are joined with an equals sign, and -n is written out in its long form, --name. For example, -n -draft becomes --name=-draft.
Why
A value that begins with a dash can look like a separate option. Joining it to its option with = keeps it read as a value, so a session name such as -draft reaches the new process intact.
The entry above is what we published on the day. These lines were added later, as Anthropic's own pages caught up, and they sit beside the original rather than replacing it.
