Bug Description

I can't update Claude, for some reason. Whenever I run claude update, it tells me it updated successfully but when I run claude --version again, it shows me the old version:

claude update

Current version: 1.0.60
Checking for updates...
New version available: 1.0.73 (current: 1.0.60)
Installing update...
Warning: Could not determine installation type
Attempting global update based on file detection...
Using global installation update method...
Successfully updated from 1.0.60 to version 1.0.73

Then, after restarting the terminal:

claude --version 
1.0.60

I did even try completely uninstalling Claude Code and reinstalling it, but it's stuck at 1.0.60 for some reason

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Run claude update
  2. Run claude --version

Expected Behavior

I want the claude version to be updated

Actual Behavior

It wasn't updated. It's stuck at 1.0.60
