[x] I am using the latest version of Claude Code

What's Wrong?

When I run the /context command in VS Code extension, it usually depicts a table in the chat window and other structured text about the context window. This no longer works as of about 8:30 pm Pacific time, and it looks like my Claude Code extension auto-updated an hour ago. Version 2.1.45

What Should Happen?

Claude should show stats on context window when I type the /context command and submit to the chat window.

Error Messages/Logs

None. Claude even says they see the output, but I can't.

Install Claude Code VS Code extension 2.1.45.
Open VS Code.
Open Claude Code window.
Type /context and submit

Same issue appears to affect /cost

Just an FYI for those looking at this bug report, you can ask Claude to print out the system message as a workaround until this is fixed.
All the info is there when you ask Claude to display it, it just doesn't display after the command is issued. (v 2.1.49)

Confirmed.

Step 1: Submit /context to a Claude Code chat window.
Step 2: Submit a prompt for Claude to print out the results of the last /context call.

Doesn't seem to be "hallucinated".

Still not working on Version 2.1.63...
The work around of prompting it via @karimahta suggestion works for the time being.
I believe the response itself consumes tokens, which means whatever it displays to you is "slightly" outdated the moment it is generated. Hopefully this gets addressed.
