What's Wrong?

I'm experiencing a crash in the Claude Code VS Code extension (version 2.0.75) when sending chat messages. Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Open the Claude Code extension in VS Code
  2. Send a message in the chat
  3. The extension crashes immediately with a React error

Environment:

  • VS Code Extension Version: 2.0.75 (was recently updated from unknown version)
  • OS: macOS (Darwin 24.5.0)
  • Frequency: Occurs randomly after sending messages, happened multiple times

Additional Information:

  • The crash appears to be related to React component rendering
  • No additional error logs available from extension logs
  • This is a blocking issue preventing normal usage of the extension

What Should Happen?

Expected Behavior: The message should be processed normally without crashing Actual Behavior: VS Code crashes with React Error 300 when attempting to send a message
