Proxy Doctor

Proxy Doctor solves the frustrating "browser works, AI editor doesn't" problem on macOS. It performs a deep 5-layer diagnostic check—spanning system proxies, residual localhost values, port health, editor-specific configurations, and GUI environment variables—to identify exactly why SSE/HTTP2 streaming connections are failing.
