What's Wrong?
CLI fonctionne mais l'extension v2.1.39 sur Windows reste bloquée sur les messages d'attente
Rédemarrer x fois vscode, installer, désinstaller extention puis redémarrage vs code, rien ne fonctionne
What Should Happen?

[BUG] VS Code extension stuck on waiting messages (Puttering, Churning, Pontificating...) while CLI works fine
Preflight Checklist
- [x] I have searched existing issues and this hasn't been reported yet
- [x] This is a single bug report
- [x] I am using the latest version of Claude Code
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
- Install Claude Code for VS Code extension (v2.1.39) on Windows
- Authenticate via claude.ai (Max subscription)
- Open the Claude Code graphical panel (not the terminal)
- Type any message (e.g., "bonjour")
- Observe: the extension shows rotating waiting messages indefinitely
- Open the integrated terminal and run
claude "bonjour"→ works fine - Developer Tools Console shows:
429 Too Many Requestsforapi.github.com/copilot/mcp_registryandERR 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\idefolder - 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 updatecommand 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_registrymay 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
