What's Wrong?
When using vscode and connecting remotely via ssh, it seems that Claude code barcode plugin is not getting the settings from the remote (where I have Claude code installed and configured)
As a result I need to specify all Claude code settings in the vscode settings.
What Should Happen?
Whenever using vscode connecting to a remote server via ssh, the plugin should take the configuration from the target host, including the Claude code config .
