[BUG] Claude not parsing or executing tool calls in VSCode extension (works in terminal)

Preflight Checklist

• [x] I have searched existing issues and this hasn't been reported yet
• [x] This is a single bug report (please file separate reports for different bugs)
• [x] I am using the latest version of Claude Code

What's Wrong?

When using Claude Code inside the Cursor or VSCode extension, the model fails to parse or execute tool calls (e.g. code edits, shell, or explain commands).
The same prompts and context work correctly in the terminal version (claude CLI).
It looks like the VSCode integration is not passing or handling tool invocation responses correctly — Claude outputs a raw response or stalls instead of applying the edit or calling the tool.

What Should Happen?

Claude should parse tool calls (e.g., file edits, runs, explanations) and execute them as in the terminal version.
The behavior should be identical between the VSCode extension and the CLI.

Error Messages/Logs

No explicit error in console.
Claude’s output stops mid-generation or produces plain text output instead of triggering a tool.
Sometimes shows internal “not parsed” or “no tool match” messages in dev console logs.

Steps to Reproduce

Open Cursor (or VSCode with Claude Code extension).

Create a simple file, e.g. test.py:

def hello():
print("hello")

Run a Claude command such as:

claude "add type hints to test.py"

Observe that Claude outputs text but does not edit the file or call the edit tool.

Run the same command in the terminal (claude CLI) — it works normally.

Claude Model

Sonnet (default)

Is this a regression?

Yes, this worked in a previous version

Last Working Version

_No response_

Claude Code Version

2.0.36

Platform

Anthropic API

Operating System

macOS

Terminal/Shell

Cursor

Additional Information

Occurs only in the VSCode extension, not in CLI.

Reproduced on a fresh workspace with no conflicting extensions.

Happens even after resetting Claude configuration and permissions. and tried reinstalling it

✅ Issues Fixed

1. Fixed Missing Default Exports

The main issue was that all your route files were using the re-export pattern (export { default } from ...) which wasn't being properly recognized by Expo Router. I changed all route files to use proper default exports: Before:
export { default } from "@/screens/SomeScreen";
After:
import SomeScreen from "@/screens/SomeScreen";
export default SomeScreen;
This pattern ensures that Expo Router can properly recognize and import the components.

1. Files Updated:

All layout files (_layout.tsx) in app directory and subdirectories
All route files (.tsx files) in the app directory
Total of 15 files were updated with proper default exports

1. Cleared Cache

Running npx expo start -c cleared the Metro bundler cache, which resolved the duplicate view registration error. Your app should now be working properly without any routing errors! You can press i for iOS or a for Android to test the app on your simulator/device.
