Steps to Reproduce

[BUG] VS Code extension stuck on waiting messages (Puttering, Churning, Pontificating...) while CLI works fine

What's Wrong?

The Claude Code VS Code extension (graphical panel) is permanently stuck on humorous waiting messages ("Puttering...", "Churning...", "Pontificating...", "Wrangling...", "Thinking...") and never returns a response — even for simple prompts like "bonjour".

The CLI works perfectly in the same VS Code integrated terminal. Authentication is valid, usage limits are far from reached (3% session, 9% weekly).

This issue has persisted for 2 days and survives full reinstallation of the extension, cache clearing, and VS Code restart.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Install Claude Code for VS Code extension (v2.1.39) on Windows
  2. Authenticate via claude.ai (Max subscription)
  3. Open the Claude Code graphical panel (not the terminal)
  4. Type any message (e.g., "bonjour")
  5. Observe: the extension shows rotating waiting messages indefinitely
  6. Open the integrated terminal and run claude "bonjour" → works fine
  7. Developer Tools Console shows: 429 Too Many Requests for api.github.com/copilot/mcp_registry and ERR Une erreur inconnue s'est produite

Expected Behavior

The extension should display Claude's response in the graphical panel, just like the CLI does in the terminal.

What actually happens

The extension cycles through waiting messages forever and never displays a response. The input field shows "Queue another message..." but no response ever appears.

Troubleshooting already attempted

  • Full VS Code restart (quit + relaunch)
  • Uninstall + reinstall extension
  • Deleted C:\Users\<user>\.claude\ide folder
  • Deleted lock files
  • Updated CLI to 2.1.41 via npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code@latest
  • Fixed Set-ExecutionPolicy (was blocking scripts initially)
  • Resolved duplicate installations (npm-global + native) via claude update
  • Verified claude auth status → loggedIn: true, subscriptionType: max
  • Verified usage limits → 3% session, 9% weekly (nowhere near limit)
  • Checked Developer Tools Console → 429 error on GitHub MCP registry

Environment

  • Claude Code CLI version: 2.1.41
  • Extension version: 2.1.39
  • OS: Windows (11)
  • VS Code language: French
  • Authentication: claude.ai (Max subscription)
  • Terminal: PowerShell

Additional context

  • The claude update command revealed a configuration mismatch: "Config expects: native installation / Currently running: npm-global". This was resolved but did not fix the extension issue.
  • The 429 error on api.github.com/copilot/mcp_registry may or may not be related.
  • This worked in a previous version: Yes

Claude Model

None

Is this a regression?

Yes, this worked in a previous version
