"Update available" notification shown when already on latest version (Homebrew)

Description
The status line shows an "Update available! Run: brew upgrade claude-code" notification even when already on the latest version.
Steps to reproduce
- Install Claude Code via Homebrew
- Update to latest:
brew upgrade claude-code - Launch
claude - Status line still shows "Update available" banner
Current version
$ claude --version
2.1.84 (Claude Code)
$ brew info claude-code
==> claude-code: 2.1.84
Installed
/usr/local/Caskroom/claude-code/2.1.84
Both the installed version and the latest Homebrew version are 2.1.84 — the notification should not appear.
Expected behavior
No "Update available" notification when the installed version matches the latest available version.
Environment
- OS: macOS (Darwin 25.3.0)
- Install method: Homebrew cask
- Version: 2.1.84
