Algorithm loop mode spawns `claude -p` subprocesses for both parallel workers and sequential iterations. Without `--bare`, each subprocess loads all hooks, LSP, plugins, and walks skill directories — overhead that compounds with parallel agents and causes unintended side-effects (voice notifications, session state writes, rating capture) in headless automation context. `--bare` (added in Claude Code v2.1.81) skips hooks, LSP init, plugin sync, and skill directory walks for scripted `-p` calls. Interactive mode (line 1227) is intentionally left unchanged. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Summary
--bareflag to bothclaude -psubprocess calls inalgorithm.ts(parallel workers at line 669, sequential iteration at line 1114)Problem
Algorithm loop mode spawns
claude -psubprocesses that load the full Claude Code environment — all hooks, LSP, plugin sync, and skill directory walks. This causes:Fix
--barewas added in Claude Code v2.1.81 specifically for scripted-pcalls. It skips hooks, LSP initialization, plugin synchronization, and skill directory walks — giving clean headless execution.Impact
Every PAI user running Algorithm loop mode benefits. The fix is 2 lines with zero behavioral change to the actual agent work — only the subprocess boot path is streamlined.
