claude CLI execution failed (binary='{}', status={}). {}

Error message

claude CLI execution failed (binary='{}', status={}). {}

What it means

Doctor claude_agent_sdk probe: the configured claude CLI binary was found and executed, but the version invocation exited non-zero. The message shows the binary path, exit status, and a truncated first stderr line. This is distinct from "not found" — the binary exists but errors on invocation, common when the CLI needs auth/login, an update broke it, or the wrong binary shadows the real CLI.

Solutions

1. Run the shown binary with --version manually and read the stderr preview
2. Re-run the CLI's login flow if it complains about authentication
3. Reinstall the Claude Code CLI or fix claude_agent_sdk.binary in config to point at a working binary
