Problem Statement

When users encounter issues with Claude Code, they often:

  1. Assume it's their own setup/environment
  2. Spend time troubleshooting
  3. Search GitHub issues to find others with the same problem
  4. 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

Use Case Example

  1. User updates to latest version
  2. LSP features stop working
  3. User checks "Known Issues" page → sees "LSP regression in v2.0.67+, fix in progress"
  4. User knows to wait or downgrade, instead of spending hours debugging

Additional Context

Prior art:

Benefit:

  • Reduces time wasted on known problems
  • Reduces duplicate "is anyone else seeing this?" issues
  • Shows users their problems are acknowledged
