What's Wrong?

After switching to a new Anthropic account (Claude Team plan), the status bar button at the bottom of VS Code throws the following error:
command 'claude-vscode.editor.openLast' not found
The same error occurs with claude-vscode.sidebar.open when using the Command Palette.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Switch to a new Anthropic account
  2. Click the "Claude" button in the VS Code status bar

Expected behavior:
Claude Code panel opens normally.
Actual behavior:
Error toast appears: command 'claude-vscode.editor.openLast' not found

Additional info:

  • Claude Code works fine in the terminal (claude CLI)
  • The extension is properly installed and authenticated
  • Reinstalling the extension did not fix the issue
  • VS Code extension version: 2.1.53
  • OS: Windows

What Should Happen?

The Claude Code panel should open normally when clicking the status bar button.
