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
