The podway command
The command Claude uses inside the pod. You don't need it, but it helps to know what's there.
Every pod has a podway command. Claude uses it for you; you never have to type it. It is listed
here so you know what to ask for, and for when you use the browser terminal. Inside a pod,
podway --help shows the exact options for that pod's version.
