[BUG] VS Code extension v2.1.51 fails to activate on Windows (hardcoded CI path in extension.js)

What's Wrong?
VS Code extension fails to activate on Windows. Clicking the Claude Code icon in the editor title bar shows: "command 'claude-vscode.editor.openLast' not found"
Root cause: extension.js contains a hardcoded GitHub Actions runner path passed to module.createRequire(), which fails on Windows:
var eG = require("node:module")
var H1 = eG.createRequire(
"file:///home/runner/work/claude-cli-internal/claude-cli-internal/build-agent-sdk/sdk.mjs"
)
What Should Happen?
Extension activates successfully and Claude Code panel opens.
