/ide command doesn't detect JetBrains IDE when running inside IDE terminal

Description
When running Claude Code from inside JetBrains Rider's integrated terminal, the /ide command shows "No available IDEs detected" even though the IDE integration is correctly configured and working.
Environment
- Claude Code version: 2.1.7
- IDE: JetBrains Rider 253.29346.144
- Plugin: Claude Code [Beta] (0.1.14-beta)
- OS: Windows
Evidence
The environment variables are correctly set by the plugin:
CLAUDE_CODE_SSE_PORT=50256ENABLE_IDE_INTEGRATION=true
The SSE server is running and listening:
TCP 0.0.0.0:50256 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING
TCP [::]:50256 [::]:0 LISTENING
Expected Behavior
The /ide command should detect that Claude Code is running inside a JetBrains IDE terminal and show the IDE as connected/available.
Actual Behavior
Select IDE
Connect to an IDE for integrated development features.
No available IDEs detected. Please install the plugin and restart your IDE:

Enter to confirm · escape to cancel
Notes
The IDE integration likely works via the environment variables (haven't fully tested), but the /ide command's detection logic doesn't check for these environment variables, causing user confusion.
