CC Web Workarounds

Limitations and workarounds for Claude Code Web environments.

Environment Detection

is_web_env=false
[ "$CLAUDE_CODE_REMOTE" = "true" ] && is_web_env=true
[ "${CLAUDE_ENVIRONMENT:-}" = "ccweb" ] && is_web_env=true
[ -n "${CODESPACES:-}" ] && is_web_env=true

Known Limitations

Issue	Workaround
`gh pr checks` fails	Use `gh api repos/OWNER/REPO/actions/runs`
`gh issue list` fails	Use `gh api repos/OWNER/REPO/issues`
Shallow git history (<50 commits)	Use `gh api` for full history
`claude -p` subprocess broken	Defer tasks needing Claude subprocess
apt-get blocked	None; use local devcontainer
No git worktrees	Single-branch workflow only
New branch from main only	Cannot use existing branches or branch from non-main
No TexLive/LaTeXML	Use local for thesis builds

GitHub CLI Workarounds

Instead of `gh pr checks`:

gh api repos/{owner}/{repo}/commits/{sha}/check-runs --jq '.check_runs[] | {name, status, conclusion}'

Instead of `gh issue list`:

gh api repos/{owner}/{repo}/issues --jq '.[] | {number, title, state}'

Instead of local git log:

gh api repos/{owner}/{repo}/commits --jq '.[].commit.message'

Shallow Clone Warning

Session startup detects shallow clones:

local_commits=$(git rev-list --count HEAD 2>/dev/null || echo "0")
if [ "$local_commits" -lt 50 ]; then
    echo "WARNING: Shallow clone detected"
fi

Hook Crash Prevention

When writing hooks for CC Web:

Use bash -c not bash -lc (no login shell)
Fallback: ${CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR:-.}
Add || true with set -e
Add --timeout=30 to wget

Emergency Minimal Settings

If hooks crash, use this .claude/settings.json:

{
  "env": { "GIT_PAGER": "cat" },
  "permissions": { "defaultMode": "bypassPermissions" }
}
