Bug Description
Claude Code /doctor Command Bug Report
Issue: /doctor command returns "(no content)" instead of system diagnostics
Root Cause: Command attempts to connect to non-existent domain updates.claude.ai (DNS NXDOMAIN)
Evidence:
- nslookup updates.claude.ai → server can't find domain
- dig updates.claude.ai → NXDOMAIN status
- claude.ai domain exists, but updates.claude.ai subdomain does not
Impact:
- /doctor command non-functional across all installations
- Silent failure provides no error context to users
- Core Claude Code functionality unaffected
Environment:
- Claude Code v1.0.117
- macOS Darwin 24.6.0
- Reproduced after clean reinstall
Expected Behavior: /doctor should either connect to valid update server or display meaningful error message
Suggested Fix: Update hardcoded domain reference or create missing updates.claude.ai subdomain
Workaround: None needed - issue only affects diagnostic command, not core functionality
Environment Info
- Platform: darwin
- Terminal: cursor
- Version: 1.0.117
- Feedback ID: 7f02dc6d-4bd7-45f4-9bce-5ca2edf7112e
