Closes #317.

The widget reads the same .claude.json no matter what CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR is set to, so every profile ends up showing the same account email.

The path was built like this:

path.join(getClaudeConfigDir(), '..', '.claude.json')

That works for the default ~/.claude config dir, since going up one level lands at $HOME where .claude.json actually lives. But when someone sets CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR=~/.claude-work, the .. still lands at $HOME, so every profile keeps reading the same file.

The reason it's not a simple fix: .claude.json lives at $HOME by default, but Claude Code moves it inside CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR when that env var is set. The path needs to branch on whether the env var is there:

function getClaudeJsonPath(): string {
    const envConfigDir = process.env.CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR;
    if (envConfigDir) {
        return path.resolve(envConfigDir, '.claude.json');
    }
    return path.join(os.homedir(), '.claude.json');
}

A few small extra changes I made in the same render method:

• Removed an existsSync check before readFileSync. The outer try/catch already handles missing files, and dropping the check also closes a small race window between the two calls.
• Dropped a redundant path.resolve on a path that was already absolute.
• Tightened the email check from if (!email) to typeof email === 'string' && email.length > 0. The old check would let a non-string emailAddress field through, so {"emailAddress": 12345} would have rendered as Account: 12345.

Tests

Three new tests:

1. Widget reads from $CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR/.claude.json when the env var is set. This is the regression test.
2. Widget returns null when CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR points at a directory with no .claude.json, even if $HOME/.claude.json exists. Guards against the old fallback coming back.
3. Non-string emailAddress returns null.

All existing tests still pass. bun run lint, bun test, and bun run build are all clean.

@daren-porter — if you have a minute, could you check this against your work/personal alias setup? The new tests mirror what you described in the issue, but a real-world confirmation would help.

Thanks. I made one small tweak the centralize the logic to grab the json path in case we need to use it outside that widget in the future.
