What

On macOS, Claude Code can run background sessions from a stable copy of itself inside a helper app called ClaudeCode.app. If the copy of Claude Code you are running does not use that helper, it now deletes it at startup, after some safety checks, and reports that it removed it.

The helper is kept if any process is still running from it. CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_BG_STABLE_PATH is read as part of this check.

Why

This clears away a leftover helper app that is no longer in use, without breaking anything still running from it.
