On the same machine, same account, same launch flags, the full "Welcome back" welcome panel (Tips + What's new) renders in some project directories and not others. The compact 3-line header appears in the others. Terminal width is sufficient in both cases.

Root Cause

Filing because #25303 was closed without a fix and the behavior persists in 2.1.153.

Environment

  • Claude Code: v2.1.153
  • OS: Windows 11 Home 10.0.26200
  • Shell: PowerShell 7
  • Install: npm global

Summary

On the same machine, same account, same launch flags, the full "Welcome back" welcome panel (Tips + What's new) renders in some project directories and not others. The compact 3-line header appears in the others. Terminal width is sufficient in both cases.

Reproduction

Two sessions, both launched with claude --dangerously-skip-permissions:

  • D:\Folder A\Subfolder → full bordered welcome panel
  • C:\Users\<user>\Folder B\Subfolder → compact 3-line header only

The second directory is wider than the first in the same terminal window, so this is not a width-based fallback.

Screenshots attached in a follow-up comment.

Tried (no effect)

  • --setting-sources user (skipping project-level settings/hooks)
  • --no-alt-screen (flag no longer exists in 2.1.153)

Related

  • #25303 (closed not planned) — same Windows folder-dependent symptom
  • #19139 (closed duplicate) — Windows Terminal banner missing
  • #33060 — home directory variant

Filing because #25303 was closed without a fix and the behavior persists in 2.1.153.
