What

The warning shown to people who installed via npm is gone. Both the "Installed via npm (deprecated)" line with its "run claude install to switch to the native version" hint and the underlying setup-issue flag behind it were deleted; they were present in 2.1.226.

Evidence

Installed via npm (deprecated), npmInstallDeprecated

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
