Error message

[claude-code] `claude` CLI at {} is version {}; require >= {}

What it means

`version_check::probe()` found a `claude` executable but its reported version is older than `MIN_CLI_VERSION` required by this provider (the `CliStatus::Outdated` arm). The installed path and both version numbers are included. Old CLI builds lack flags/stream shapes the driver depends on, so construction refuses instead of failing obscurely mid-turn.

Solutions

1. Update the CLI at the path shown in the message: `npm update -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code` (or `claude update` if the native updater is available).
2. Verify `claude --version` reports >= the `min_required` value from the message.
3. If multiple CLIs exist, remove stale ones so PATH resolves the updated binary (check `which -a claude`).
4. Retry the request after the update; no core restart is needed beyond provider reconstruction.

Example fix

# shell
npm update -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code
claude --version   # compare against min_required in the error

if let types::CliStatus::Outdated { version, min_required, .. } = version_check::probe() {
    prompt_upgrade(&version, &min_required); // block provider selection until fixed
}

When it happens

Trigger: Constructing the claude-code provider with a `claude` on PATH whose `--version` output parses below `types::MIN_CLI_VERSION` — e.g. a distro-pinned or long-unupdated npm install.

Common situations: npm global install updated rarely; a system-managed Node with an old cached CLI; CI images caching an outdated CLI layer; users who installed the CLI months ago and never updated.
