What's Wrong?

Claude Code — ECONNRESET on all connections (macOS Sequoia 15.3.1) Version: Claude Code v2.1.133 OS: macOS Sequoia 15.3.1 (MacBook Air) Problem: Claude Code fails to connect every time with: "Failed to connect to api.anthropic.com: ECONNRESET" What I've tried:

Multiple relaunches Wiped ~/.claude and did a clean start --verbose flag gives no additional detail /login and /feedback commands also fail to connect

What works fine:

curl to api.anthropic.com connects successfully A test POST to /v1/messages returns a proper JSON auth error (meaning the API is reachable) No proxy environment variables set (HTTP_PROXY, HTTPS_PROXY, NO_PROXY all empty)

Conclusion: Network connectivity is fine. The issue appears to be specific to how Claude Code itself handles TLS/connections on this machine, not a network or firewall problem.

What Should Happen?

Claude Code should connect to API and provides response.
