Claude code modified my .bashrc without asking

- Claude code potentially modified the user's .bashrc file to remove an alias without permission.
- The modification coincided with a Claude update, suggesting the update process might trigger the change.
- Evidence includes timestamp correlation and suspicious code in Claude's binary referencing .bashrc and alias patterns.
- The user's alias 'claude-logging', a custom logging tool, was removed automatically.
- Repeated updates to Claude (versions 1.0.43 and 1.0.44) consistently removed the alias, reinforcing the suspicion.
- The user expresses strong disapproval of silent, unauthorized modifications to system files.
