When I create a new claude sandbox, there is a default CLAUDE.md at $PWD/../ with basic information about the sandbox.
This CLAUDE.md file uses British spellings. Some examples:

The code output by CLAUDE into my project recently started using British spelling as well, such as behaviour. I believe it's being influenced by the default CLAUDE.md.
Either the spelling in the default CLAUDE.md should be updated to the American form, or a prompt should be added to tell Claude to ignore it for spelling forms, and follow patterns from the project itself.
