…op native shadow A native `claude` self-update (or bare-Termux install) drops a ~/.local/bin/claude ahead of $PREFIX/bin in PATH and silently shadows the Alpine dispatcher, so `claude` breaks while every other CLI keeps working (the "works for everyone but Claude" paradox). - install_claude_dispatcher: write the dispatcher to all three entry points (~/.local/bin, ~/bin, $PREFIX/bin) + a canonical copy under $PREFIX/libexec. - install_claude_session_guard: profile.d login-shell guard that reasserts the dispatcher if a self-update re-shadows it (zero-gap; heals on next terminal). - 50-persistence.sh: boot hook now reasserts the dispatcher on every boot in Alpine mode, in addition to the existing MLS relabel.

Problem
On Alpine-mode installs,
claudeis a thin Termux→Alpine dispatcher. But a nativeclaudeself-update (or a bare-Termux install) drops a~/.local/bin/claudethat sits ahead of$PREFIX/binin PATH and silently shadows the dispatcher — soclaudebreaks while grok/agy/codex keep working (the "works for everyone but Claude" paradox). The existing persistence hook re-labels MLS but never re-asserts the dispatcher, so it recurs on every Claude update.Fix
install_claude_dispatcher(lib/common.sh): writes the dispatcher to all three entry points a native install can occupy (~/.local/bin,~/bin,$PREFIX/bin), keeps a canonical copy under$PREFIX/libexec/root-aicli/, and re-applies Termux MLS.install_claude_session_guard(lib/common.sh): dropsetc/profile.d/root-aicli-claude.sh, a login-shell guard that reasserts the dispatcher if a self-update re-shadows it — zero-gap (heals on the next terminal open, as the Termux user, so context is inherited automatically).20-claude.sh: now calls both helpers instead of writing a single entry point.50-persistence.sh: the boot hook now reasserts the dispatcher on every boot in Alpine mode (in addition to the MLS relabel).Bionic/Path-B (native
claude) installs are unaffected — the dispatcher/guard/boot-reassert are all gated ondetect_runtime_preference = alpine.Testing
bash -npasses on all three changed shell files.clauderesolves to the dispatcher even with~/.local/binfirst in PATH.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
