Hi - what do you get when you run "type windsurf" in windsurf terminal and in apple terminal?
I have the same problem with VS Code. Wheh I do "type code", I get:
/opt/homebrew/bin/code
VS Code having been installed via homebrew.
I have a theory. Any chance in Applications, the VSCode package is called something other than "Visual Studio Code.app"
ls /Applications
Checked that. It seems to be correctly named "Visual Studio Code.app"
$ type windsurf
windsurf is /Users/t-negishi/.codeium/windsurf/bin/windsurf
$ type cursor
cursor is /usr/local/bin/cursor
$ type code
code is /opt/homebrew/bin/code
$ ls /Applications/ | grep Windsurf
Windsurf.app
$ ls /Applications/ | grep Cursor
Cursor.app
$ ls /Applications/ | grep Code
Visual Studio Code.app

In Windsurf terminal
$ claude

⚠ Error installing Windsurf extension: 1: ENOENT
Please restart your IDE and try again.

I can't install Claude code in any IDE, including Windsurf, Cursor, or VS Code.
Good news is that we finally have a repro. Should have a fix out early next
week. In the meantime folks can install the extension directly from here:

I was able to install with npm and run "claude" and configure in basic terminal. I am trying to get the full panel window to launch, I guess that is what /ide command is for. I am getting this error, when I try to run /ide.

Other than that, it appears to be running, albeit in below terminal. I am using windsurf.
I experienced a similar issue in VS Code on my Mac.
