What's Wrong?

The Claude Code VS Code extension intermittently hangs indefinitely after sending a message. The spinner shows but no response ever arrives or arrives after 8+ minutes. The CLI works correctly at all times.

What Should Happen?

Claude should respond to the message within a few seconds.

Steps to Reproduce

When the Claude Code IDE is open in VS Code and I reload VS Code, the Claude Code extension hangs during startup. VS Code gets stuck on the initial loading screen until I manually close the extension. After that, VS Code loads normally, and I can reopen the Claude Code IDE. This creates a poor user experience.
