Preflight Checklist
- [x] I have searched existing requests and this feature hasn't been requested yet
- [x] This is a single feature request (not multiple features)
Problem Statement
When users encounter issues with Claude Code, they often:
- Assume it's their own setup/environment
- Spend time troubleshooting
- Search GitHub issues to find others with the same problem
- Only then realize it's a known issue
There's no single place to quickly check "is this a known problem?" before investing time in debugging.
As described in #15692:
An official place where users can quickly check if something is a known problem before spending time troubleshooting. This is standard practice for developer tools at this level.
Proposed Solution
Add a "Known Issues" page to the official documentation that lists:
- Currently known issues/bugs
- Affected versions
- Workarounds (if available)
- Status (investigating / fix planned / etc.)
This serves as a quick reference before users dive into GitHub issues search.
Alternative Solutions
- Existing Troubleshooting page: The current Troubleshooting page covers installation, configuration, and permanent setup issues—but it's not designed for tracking current bugs in specific versions (e.g., "LSP broken in v2.0.67+")
- GitHub Issues only: Current state; requires users to search and filter
- Pinned issues: Limited visibility, mixed with other content
- Release notes "known issues" section: Tied to specific releases, harder to find current state
Priority
Medium - Would be very helpful
Feature Category
Documentation
Use Case Example
- User updates to latest version
- LSP features stop working
- User checks "Known Issues" page → sees "LSP regression in v2.0.67+, fix in progress"
- User knows to wait or downgrade, instead of spending hours debugging
Additional Context
Prior art:
- JetBrains Known Issues
- VS Code Known Issues
- Many developer tools maintain similar pages
Benefit:
- Reduces time wasted on known problems
- Reduces duplicate "is anyone else seeing this?" issues
- Shows users their problems are acknowledged
