## Title

    Proposed fix: [Claude Code] 'Connection refused — a firewall or proxy may be blocking it (ConnectionRefused)' while curl to api.anthropic.com works — leftover ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL

## Body

    Recommended action: curl -I https://api.anthropic.com from the same shell; if it works, check ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL in shell and settings `env`, /etc/resolv.conf on WSL, stale utun on macOS, container runtimes; set HTTPS_PROXY if behind a proxy.
    
    Option: curl -I https://api.anthropic.com from the same shell; if it works, check ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL in shell and settings `env`, /etc/resolv.conf on WSL, stale utun on macOS, container runtimes; set HTTPS_PROXY if behind a proxy. [evidence: official_recommended_action]
    Applies when: Any request when TCP connect fails
    Steps:
    1. curl -I https://api.anthropic.com (PowerShell: curl.exe -I ...)
    2. echo $ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL and inspect settings files env block; remove stale values
    3. Set HTTPS_PROXY for corporate proxies
    4. WSL: check /etc/resolv.conf nameserver; macOS: remove stale VPN network extension
    5. Quit Docker Desktop to rule out interception
    Expected: The error no longer appears.
