Problem

cs doctor prints ✓ next to the installed version however far behind it is, and says nothing about auto-upgrade. A uv install stuck on 3.41.0 by the shadow-install misread fixed in #51 looked fully healthy in doctor while 3.44.0 was out and every daily upgrade was being vetoed. That fix can't reach installs that are already stuck, so doctor is where a user would find out.

Fix

Two lines after version, both read-only and offline:

  • auto-upgrade mirrors the gates in check_for_updates() / auto_upgrade(): on, off (CLAUDE_STATUSBAR_NO_UPDATE), off (config auto_upgrade=false), blocked when is_shadow_install(), or blocked on a Windows pip/pipx install (_windows_in_place()). Blocked shows a yellow !. This is the line that would have caught the stuck 3.41.0 install.
  • latest reads the latest_version.json cache the updater writes: X available — run: cs upgrade (yellow !) or (up to date). Past the same 7-day cutoff the bar's ↑ hint uses, it says unknown — last checked Nd ago instead, since a blocked updater stops refreshing the cache (yellow only when auto-upgrade claims to be on). Silent when there is no cache, and for source checkouts reporting 0.0.0.

Tests

Seven new tests in tests/test_doctor.py, with a fixture that pins env, load_config, is_shadow_install, _windows_in_place and the cache path (config.CONFIG_PATH is bound at import, so the existing Path.home patch can't isolate it). Six fail on main; the seventh (silent without a cache) guards the no-cache path. Full suite: 1251 passed. Also run with a HOME whose config sets auto_upgrade: false: no doctor test is affected.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • cs doctor now reports whether auto-upgrades are enabled, disabled, or blocked, and whether an update is available.
    • Latest-version information is shown only when the cached data is recent and readable. Version checks do not require a network request.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Update-check failures no longer interrupt the remaining diagnostics.

… is blocked

`cs doctor` printed a green ✓ next to the installed version no matter how far
behind it was, and said nothing about auto-upgrade. A uv install stuck on
3.41.0 by the shadow-install misread (leeguooooo#51) looked fully healthy here while
3.44.0 was out and every daily upgrade was being vetoed.

Two new lines, both read-only and offline:
- latest: compares against the latest_version.json cache the updater already
  writes; silent when there is no cache.
- auto-upgrade: on / off (env or config) / blocked by is_shadow_install().
…ce gate

A blocked updater never refreshes latest_version.json, so a month-old cache
naming the installed version read as "up to date" in exactly the stuck case
this line exists for. Apply the bar's own 7-day cutoff and say "unknown"
past it. The auto-upgrade line now also reports the Windows pip/pipx gate
auto_upgrade() enforces, and tests pin load_config instead of reading the
real config through the import-time CONFIG_PATH.

cs doctor now reports auto-upgrade status and cached latest-version information. It handles stale or missing cache data and check failures without stopping the remaining diagnostics.

Layer / File(s) Summary
Update status checks
src/claude_statusbar/doctor.py, tests/test_doctor.py
The doctor command reports whether auto-upgrade is on, off, or blocked. It reports a cached version as available, up to date, or unknown based on the installed version and cache age. Tests cover cache conditions and auto-upgrade restrictions.

Doctor can report an outdated cache as current or show a green check beside an unknown version. These reporting errors are bounded; the PR is mergeable with owner awareness and follow-up.

Apply the seven-day cutoff before rounding the cache age.

When the cache is seven days and one second old, age_d is still 7. Line 232 then treats the cache as fresh and can report its version as “up to date” for almost another day. Compare the age in seconds with seven days; use whole days only for the displayed age. Add a test just beyond the cutoff.

Mark a stale latest-version check as unknown.

When auto-upgrade is off or blocked, this branch prints ✓ latest unknown. The green check implies that the latest version was verified, although the cache is stale. Use the warning state for a stale cache regardless of auto_on; keep the separate auto-upgrade line to explain why updates are off or blocked.
