 ⚠ Configuration inconsistency detected

 Running from local installation but config status is 'not_configured'. Expected status: 'migrated'




 ✓ Local installation: OK

 You are running Claude Code from your local installation (~/.claude/local). This installation method does not depend on global npm permissions.

 If auto-updates aren't working, you can force update with:


   cd ~/.claude/local && npm update @anthropic-ai/claude-code


 Press Enter to continue…

Claude doctor gives me this. This may be linked to #2417 but also #1676 which _still happens_ and is driving me quite quite bonkers.
