Summary

  • get_global_claude_md and save_global_claude_md were using dirs::home_dir() which resolves to the Windows home directory (C:\Users\accou) on Windows builds
  • The actual ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md lives in the WSL home directory, so the editor was always showing an empty text box and would have written to the wrong location on save
  • Added get_global_claude_md_via_wsl() and save_global_claude_md_via_wsl() helpers that shell out to WSL (matching the existing pattern used by list_skills and list_memory_files)
  • Both Tauri commands now branch on cfg!(target_os = "windows") to use the appropriate path

Test plan

  • Open Settings sidebar on a Windows build — Global Instructions textarea should load the contents of ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md from WSL
  • Edit the content and click Save — verify the WSL file is updated
  • Verify Linux/macOS builds are unaffected (native filesystem path unchanged)

✨ This issue was created with help from Hikari~ 🌸

dirs::home_dir() returns the Windows home (C:\Users\accou) on Windows
builds, but the global CLAUDE.md lives in the WSL home directory.
Route both get_global_claude_md and save_global_claude_md through WSL
on Windows, matching the pattern used by list_skills and list_memory_files.
