Two bugs in Claude Code (web + mobile)

Bug 1 — Personal GitHub repo never appears in the claude.ai/code repo picker despite the GitHub App being installed correctly

Environment: claude.ai/code (web, Chrome) and the Claude Code mobile app. Claude account is a shared team account; the GitHub account in question is a separate personal account.

Steps / what I did:

  • Installed the Claude GitHub App on my personal GitHub account with All repositories access (confirmed in GitHub Settings → Applications).
  • Installed it via the "Install the Claude GitHub app" link inside the repo picker, selected my personal account, granted All repositories, saved.
  • The OAuth flow redirected back to claude.ai successfully.

Result: My personal private repo still does NOT appear in the picker. Typing the full repo URL returns "No repos match."

Key observation: The picker does show repos from other owners on the same Claude account (other users / orgs), which proves the account supports multiple GitHub installations — but my personal account's repos are never indexed. The install is correct on GitHub's side; the failure appears to be backend repo-indexing / installation-claiming on Anthropic's side.

There is also no "switch / disconnect GitHub account" option in Claude settings, so users cannot self-fix this.

Already tried (none worked): revoke + reinstall the app, logout/login, install via github.com/apps/claude, complete the redirect back to claude.ai.

Bug 2 — Claude Code mobile app cannot send images

Attaching or dropping an image in the Claude Code mobile app does not forward the image payload to the model. The image appears on the web client but is silently dropped on the mobile app, so the conversation receives no image.

Bonus — /bug itself fails

/bug returns "isn't available in this environment" / "Couldn't send feedback. Please try again," so in-product feedback could not be submitted — hence this manual issue.

Impact

Cannot use claude.ai/code with my own personal repositories at all; forced to rely on a PC-tethered session.
