What's Wrong?
Using Claude Code version 2.1.154 in Windows command /doctor reports the following:
⚠ Native installation exists but C:\Users\XXXXX\.local\bin is not in your PATH
└ Add it by opening: System Properties → Environment Variables → Edit User PATH → New → Add the path above. Then restart your terminal.
Path is the path. Claude get confused because the path contains c:\Users\XXXXX\.local\bin (c lowercase). It should be case insensitive in Windows.
What Should Happen?
/doctor nshould not report the missing path
