Native Claude Code binary not detected as IDE

[weytani]

Problem

devreap's IDE detection doesn't recognize the native Claude Code binary, causing parent_ide_dead to fire on all MCP servers even when Claude Code is actively running.

The native binary installs to ~/.local/share/claude/versions/<ver> and is symlinked from ~/.local/bin/claude. On macOS, gopsutil reports:

• Name: claude (or the version number like 2.1.74)
• Cmdline: claude --dangerously-skip-permissions (no full path)

The existing IDE signatures only match the old npm-based install paths:

{pathContains: "/node_modules/.bin/claude"},
{pathContains: "/@anthropic-ai/claude-code"},

Neither matches because macOS doesn't include the resolved binary path in Cmdline — it uses the symlink name.

Impact

Every MCP server gets parent_ide_dead (0.30) + no_tty (0.15) = 0.45 baseline. Any server that also has has_listener (0.20) scores 0.65, which exceeds the default 0.60 threshold and gets killed. devreap then fights Claude Code's reconnect logic in a kill/restart loop every 30 seconds.

Suggested fix

gopsutil's p.Exe() returns the resolved binary path (e.g. /Users/x/.local/share/claude/versions/2.1.74), which would match a /.local/share/claude/ signature. The Exe path would need to be added to ProcessInfo and checked in checkIDERunningFromList alongside Cmdline.

Environment

• macOS (Apple Silicon)
• Claude Code 2.1.74 (native binary install)
• devreap at ef3af6b (main)
