pilot start fails: claude cannot be used with root/sudo privileges for security reasons

[mavogel]

Description

When running pilot after the install completes in the container I get

--dangerously-skip-permissions cannot be used with root/sudo privileges for security reasons
[Wrapper] Claude exited unexpectedly: exit code 1

Steps to Reproduce

1. install fresh
2. run pilot
3. ...

Expected vs Actual Behavior

pilot should run fine. Maybe claude changed something under the hood

Idea: create a dedicated user on bootstrap in the devcontainer. Then install all deps etc.

I tried

root in workshops on  main [!] via ⬢ v22.22.1 on 🐳 v28.5.2 took 4.1s …
➜ sudo su vscode
rm: cannot remove '/usr/local/share/nvm/current': Permission denied
vscode ➜ /workspaces/workshops (main) $ which claude
claude not found

because everything was installed with root

Environment

• OS: OSX 26.3.1
• Claude Code version: 2.1.74 (Claude Code)
• Pilot version: Pilot Shell v7.5.4
• Tier: Solo

Error Output

--dangerously-skip-permissions cannot be used with root/sudo privileges for security reasons
[Wrapper] Claude exited unexpectedly: exit code 1

Checklist

• I am using the latest version of Pilot Shell
• I have searched existing issues to avoid duplicates
• I can reproduce this consistently with the steps above

Same with me we have been running claude under root (SUDO) for long now and going to miss the context if moved to non sudo user based installation even though in same project folders

OS: Ubuntu 24 LTS

@mavogel Thanks for reporting! Can you try to uninstall the npm version of CC and install the native version instead? Not sure what they changed unter the hood.. I have also released a potential fix in the latest update.
