…nd underscores Claude Code names ~/.claude/projects dirs by replacing every non-alphanumeric character in the cwd with "-", but the cwd fallback (the only liveness route for Claude, which append-and-closes its transcript so lsof never sees it) replaced only "/". Any project path containing "." or "_" — a github.com-style checkout layout, a snake_case dir name — never matched its project dir, so every session read as dead and the mascot never appeared. Repro: mkdir ~/test.dot && cd ~/test.dot && claude, then ./AgentNotch --scan shows live=false while the process is running. Route all three encoding sites through one helper that mirrors Claude Code's actual rule.

Problem
For any user whose project paths contain a
.or_— agithub.com-style checkout layout, a snake_case dir name — every Claude session reads as dead and the mascot never appears. The failure is completely silent.Root cause
Claude Code names its
~/.claude/projectsdirs by replacing every non-alphanumeric character in the cwd with-. The cwd fallback replaced only/:-Users-me-src-github-com-a-b-Users-me-src-github.com-a_bNever matches. And since Claude Code append-and-closes its transcript,
lsofnever sees an open jsonl — the cwd fallback is the only liveness route for Claude. When it misses:isLivefalse →isBusyfalse → no mascot, ever.Steps to reproduce
Fix
One helper mirroring Claude Code's actual rule (every non-
[a-zA-Z0-9]→-), routed through all three encoding sites. This also fixes thebestClaudeTranscriptpreference (choosing among multiple open transcripts) — three call sites, one rule.Verification
On a machine with 8 live Claude sessions under
github.com/...paths: 0 → 8 detected, and the mascot appears within the 3 s poll as documented.
