Bug Description

The "update check" for homebrew is busted. It shows that there is an updated version available and says "Use brew upgrade claude-code to update it" which isn't true. The homebrew formula is usually lagged by at least 3 hours. Can you make it so the check doesn't check against the latest available version for claude-code, but the latest available version in the homebrew formula? It's automatically updated, but I see this banner erroneously for at least 3 hours after every single version push....it's so annoying.
