On Incus, exec_cmd runs as root ($HOME=/root), so npm installed claude-code to /root/.npm-global/bin/. But Zellij panes run as the non-root user, so $HOME/.npm-global/bin/claude wasn't found — falling back to opencode. Fix: explicitly set HOME=/home/<username> during the npm install so claude ends up in the user's home. Also chown the installed files. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
