[BUG] Stale 'update available' message shown after resuming a session post-upgrade
Resolved 💬 5 comments Opened Apr 2, 2026 by mungler Closed May 21, 2026
Description
After upgrading Claude Code via brew upgrade claude-code and resuming a previous session, the yellow 'Update available! Run: brew upgrade claude-code' message is still shown in the status bar, even though the upgrade has already been applied.
Steps to reproduce
- Have a Claude Code update available — the status bar shows the 'Update available!' message - exit claude code
- Run
brew upgrade claude-codeto apply the upgrade - Resume the previous Claude Code session (rather than starting a new one)
- The stale 'Update available!' message is still visible in the status bar
Expected behaviour
The status bar message should either be cleared on resume, or the version check should be re-run when a session is resumed.
Actual behaviour
The stale update message from the previous session is reinstated as-is, even though the upgrade has already been applied.
Environment
- Platform: macOS
- Install method: Homebrew
