Manual runtime verification (Linux, bash; Chromium web client, light, 1280x800 CSS pixels).
Both commits were installed with vp i and run with vp run dev in separate worktrees.
Both used isolated HOME directories and T3CODE_DEV_SEED=0; no live database was copied.
Startup login-shell PATH excluded the isolated ~/.local/bin and all preinstalled Claude locations.
Startup provider health check reported Claude missing on both commits.
While each server stayed running, the official native installer installed Claude Code 2.1.322.
Added export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH" to the isolated .bash_profile.
A new bash -ilc resolved ~/.local/bin/claude and printed 2.1.322 (Claude Code).
Opened Settings / Providers / Claude and clicked Refresh provider status.
Base 31eea883c7f7849ada6eb49265cb11fc64d2ecbd: Checked just now; Not found; Claude Agent CLI (`claude`) was not found on PATH.
Head d3548d9491d19c593e872e7056b2cbca80917798: Checked just now; v2.1.322; Not authenticated; Claude Code is not authenticated.
The head was reset to the original shell PATH and the sequence repeated to record the transition. No server restart occurred between that installation/PATH update and the recorded refresh.
Base recording shows refresh after installation/PATH update retaining Not found. Head recording shows Not found changing to v2.1.322 after the equivalent update and refresh.
Final screenshots on each side were compared with ImageMagick: zero changed pixels in successive captures more than 500 ms apart.
Captures cropped to provider panel to omit machine label and unrelated private metadata; no provider-status content was altered.
MacOS/zsh and authenticated turns were not exercised. No tests are offered as evidence.
