What's Wrong?

system: windows

in pycharm, claude code works great. inherits git bash (at !) and venv (py)

in desktop app, claude code ignores config, always uses powershell (at !) and system general py making it kinda useless to develop for py projects

What Should Happen?

in claude code desktop app. after config is set up at !, runs git bash

see this config at ui lvl in config. would help read & debug

Error Messages/Logs
