Use when a binary runs in your terminal but is "command not found" inside Claude Code's Bash tool, when adding a directory to PATH for Claude Code, when configuring CLAUDEENVFILE, or when settings.json env.PATH did not work. Explains why env.PATH replaces rather than appends PATH and is not variable-expanded, why ~/.zshrc PATH exports are dropped, and the supported SessionStart hook fix.
