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?

Summary
After Claude Code has been inactive for ~15 hours, the extension becomes unresponsive. The authentication flow completes successfully in the browser, but the VS Code panel fails to refresh and recognize the new session, requiring a second restart of VS Code.
Environment

Extension Version: 2.0.49
Platform: Windows (win32-x64)
VS Code: (version not shown in logs, but can be found via Help > About)
Shell: Git Bash (C:\Program Files\Git\bin\bash.exe)

What Should Happen?

Expected Behavior
After completing authentication in the browser, the Claude Code panel should automatically refresh and become operational.

Actual Behavior
The panel remains in its pre-authentication state despite successful browser authentication. A second full restart of VS Code is required to restore functionality.
Relevant Log Entries
Session initialization after first restart (14:06:37):
2025-11-21 14:06:34.361 [info] OAuth tokens found in secure storage

This error suggests a communication issue between the extension and the MCP server after authentication.

Additional Context

The MCP server starts successfully on port 30377
Git remote URL is null (may or may not be relevant)
No LSP servers configured (0 plugins loaded)

# VSCode Extension Context

You are running inside a VSCode native extension environment.

## Code References in Text
IMPORTANT: When referencing files or code locations, use markdown link syntax to make them clickable:
- For files: [filename.ts](src/filename.ts)
- For specific lines: [filename.ts:42](src/filename.ts#L42)
- For a range of lines: [filename.ts:42-51](src/filename.ts#L42-L51)
- For folders: [src/utils/](src/utils/)
Unless explicitly asked for by the user, DO NOT USE backtickets ` or HTML tags like code for file references - always use markdown [text](link) format.
The URL links should be relative paths from the root of  the user's workspace.

## User Selection Context
The user's IDE selection (if any) is included in the conversation context and marked with ide_selection tags. This represents code or text the user has highlighted in their editor and may or may not be relevant to their request. --max-thinking-tokens 0 --model default --permission-prompt-tool stdio --setting-sources user,project,local --permission-mode default --include-partial-messages --debug --debug-to-stderr --enable-auth-status

Steps to Reproduce

Leave Claude Code unused for approximately 15 hours
Attempt to use Claude Code - extension is unresponsive
Type /login command - no response
Kill VS Code and restart
Type /login again
Browser opens for authentication
Complete authentication in browser successfully
Return to VS Code
Bug: Claude Code panel does not refresh or recognize the authenticated session

Claude Model

Sonnet (default)

Is this a regression?

I don't know

Last Working Version

_No response_

Claude Code Version

2.0.49

Platform

Anthropic API

Operating System

Windows

Terminal/Shell

VS Code integrated terminal

Additional Information

Workaround
Kill and restart VS Code a second time after completing browser authentication.
Suggested Investigation Areas

Session state management: The extension may not be listening for or properly handling the authentication callback from the browser
WebView refresh mechanism: The panel's webview may need to explicitly refresh after OAuth completion
MCP server communication: The "Method not found" error may indicate the MCP server isn't fully initialized when the auth callback returns
Token validation timing: There may be a race condition between token storage and session initialization

Impact

Severity: Medium - workaround exists but requires double restart
Frequency: Occurs consistently after long periods of inactivity (~15 hours)
User Experience: Frustrating double-restart flow disrupts workflow
