Root Cause

Root cause: the standalone Mach-O binary at ~/.local/share/claude/versions/<version> has no embedded __TEXT,__info_plist section ("Info.plist=not bound" per codesign -dvv). macOS falls back to the filename (= version string) for the TCC dialog label.

Bug Description [macOS] TCC permission dialog shows raw version string ("2.1.143") instead of "Claude Code".

Root cause: the standalone Mach-O binary at ~/.local/share/claude/versions/<version> has no embedded __TEXT,__info_plist section ("Info.plist=not bound" per codesign -dvv). macOS falls back to the filename (= version string) for the TCC dialog label.

Repro: any TCC-gated access (network volume, removable, Documents/Downloads/Desktop).

Fix: add -sectcreate __TEXT __info_plist Info.plist at link time with at minimum CFBundleName="Claude Code" and CFBundleIdentifier=com.anthropic.claude-code.

Binary is signed (TeamID=Q6L2SF6YDW, Identifier=com.anthropic.claude-code) so TCC already keys by bundle ID — only the displayed dialog label is wrong.

macOS 26.5, Claude Code 2.1.143.
