"Found 1 invalid settings file" warning shown but /doctor doesn't show details

Environment

• Claude Code version: 2.0.74
• OS: macOS Darwin 25.1.0
• Install method: npm-global

Description

On startup, Claude Code displays the warning:

Found 1 invalid settings file
· /doctor for details

However, when running /doctor, no information about the invalid settings file is shown. The doctor output only shows:

• Installation diagnostics (npm-global, auto-updates enabled)
• MCP Config diagnostics (unrelated warnings about missing env vars)

Steps to Reproduce

1. Start Claude Code
2. See "Found 1 invalid settings file" warning
3. Run /doctor
4. No details about the invalid settings file are displayed

Expected Behavior

/doctor should display which settings file is invalid and why.

Actual Behavior

/doctor doesn't show any information about invalid settings files.

Investigation Done

• Validated all JSON files in ~/.claude/ and project .claude/ directories - all are syntactically valid
• Temporarily removed various settings files (.claude.json, settings.local.json) - warning persists
• Checked plugin JSON files - all valid

Additional Context

This appears to be either:

1. A false positive warning
2. A bug where /doctor doesn't properly report which file is invalid
