 - Snipara Sandbox CLI presence
 - environment files
 - hosted MCP reachability when a live API key is available
+- exposed Hosted MCP tool aliases (`snipara_*`, with `rlm_*` reported as legacy)
+- client-specific loading gaps that the terminal cannot prove

+For Claude-specific support, run:
+
+```bash
+npx create-snipara doctor --client claude
+```
+
+This separates "Snipara config was written" from "Claude actually loaded the MCP
+server." If Claude uses its cloud/UI MCP configuration instead of local files,
+the doctor output points the user to Claude **Settings -> MCP** instead of
+repeating local file edits.
