What's Wrong?

Claude Code tells me that I should add ~/.local/bin to my PATH, even though that directory does not exist and the directory that claude is in, is already in my PATH:

~ ❯ claude doctor

What Should Happen?

Claude should not recommend adding a directory to the PATH when that directory doesn't exist or doesn't contain the claude binary.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Put the native claude binary in any directory in your PATH which isn't ~/.local/bin. (Package managers like Homebrew and MacPorts will also do this.)
2. Run claude doctor.
