When does this happen?

IF Claude Code installed via npm shows a path under nvm or node, and auto-updates are not enabled.

How others solved it

THEN Remove the npm-installed Claude Code (e.g., from ~/.nvm/versions/node/...) and install the native version using `curl -fsSL http://claude.ai/install.sh | bash`. Verify auto-updates are enabled with `claude doctor` and check the `/config` setting.

# Check current install path
which claude
# If it shows a node/nvm path, uninstall the npm version and install native:
# npm uninstall -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code
# curl -fsSL http://claude.ai/install.sh | bash
# Verify: claude --version && claude doctor | grep -i auto
