What's Wrong?

VSCode 1.122.1 got updated today and this broke the Claude extension — it installs and shows in the sidebar but never activates, doesn't appear in Output logs, and no session can be started. The tabs are shown but it shows loading but the conversation does not load.

What Should Happen?

Old sessions should have got loaded and I should have been allowed to start new session
