If that program cannot be run, Claude Code now looks for the `claude` link installed by Homebrew, a package manager for macOS and Linux. If an upgrade is in progress, it waits for it to finish and then tries again. Claude Code notes when it uses this route and when it gives up waiting.\n\n**Why**\n\nBackground sessions should keep working when Claude Code is being upgraded with `brew upgrade`.\n\n- Area: Sessions\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 2\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
