What's Wrong?
When you paste a github issue to claude code, it uses the fetch tool to read the issue. However, the fetch tool only returns the issue body and not the replies. This lead to many cases there is a solution in the body but Claude thought it is unsolved.
What Should Happen?
It should return the full thread

Steps to Reproduce
- Ask Claude Code to read a GitHub issue (usually with solution) in the thread (the one I used is
https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm/issues/37729) what is the solution to it - Claude would only response the solution in the issue body (usually suboptimal) and not the final solution in thread
