What's Wrong?

Prior to v2.1.144, with "Ask Before Edits" mode enabled, proposed file changes opened as a side-by-side diff editor tab in VS Code's main panel.

After updating to v2.1.144, diffs appear inline in the chat panel instead.

Environment: VS Code extension v2.1.144, claudeCode.preferredLocation=panel, Windows 11 Enterprise.

What Should Happen?

Expected: diff opens as VS Code diff editor in main panel (side-by-side). Actual: diff appears inline in the Claude Code chat panel.
