Initial login to Claude Code is failing - cloudui is passing /exit command?

[oravecz]

Describe the bug
I attempt to "Connect my AI Agent" and the shell and the "Claude CLI Login" modal opens.

The process starts Claude Code and immediately exits.

Looking at the logs, I can see why

Initial command: claude /exit --dangerously-skip-permissions

Apparently, the shell is doing exactly what CloudUI is asking it do do. I cannot figure out why CloudUI is not passing claude /login

To Reproduce
I am running

• Claude Code v2.1.74
• CloudCLI v1.25.2
• Running using npm install, cloudcli from a folder. No env variables.

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to http://localhost:3001
2. Sign in, configure Git
3. On "Connect Your AI Agents", select [Login] for Claude Code
4. The Claude CLI Login appears, and immediately exits (see screenshot)

Looking at the logs, you can see that Claude Code was invoked with the /exit command causing it to immediately exit

Expected behavior
I expected Claude Code to be invoked with claude /login instead of claude /exit

Additional Context
Running on MacOS Tahoe 26.3.1 (25D2128) with zsh shelll
