What's Wrong?
The System Diagnostics shows a mismatch warning even when both values are the same:
⚠ Installation config mismatch: running npm-global but config says npm-global
Both values are npm-global, so this should not trigger a warning.
Environment:
Claude Code version: 2.0.76
OS: macOS
Installation method: npm global (npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code)
What Should Happen?
There should not be an error.
