Preflight Checklist

  • I have searched existing requests and this feature hasn't been requested yet
  • This is a single feature request (not multiple features)

Problem Statement

There is no way to see when a message was sent in the Claude Code VS Code extension chat panel. Long or multi-session conversations have no per-message timestamps, making it impossible to correlate AI responses with external events (code changes, build failures, etc.) or to audit how long a task took.

Proposed Solution

Show a subtle timestamp beside or below each message in the chat panel (e.g., display on hover, similar to Slack or VS Code's built-in Chat view). Optionally add a setting to control visibility: "always" | "hover" | "never".
