What's Wrong?

Description:
After installing Claude Code CLI and VS Code extension, all extension commands fail with "command not found" errors.

Environment:

  • OS: Windows
  • VS Code: 1.109.5
  • Claude Code CLI: 2.1.55
  • Extension: anthropic.claude-code v2.1.55

Error messages:

  • command 'claude-vscode.editor.openLast' not found
  • command 'claude-vscode.terminal.open' not found
  • command 'claude-vscode.editor.open' not found

What works:

  • Running claude directly in terminal works fine

What I tried:

  • Reinstalled Node.js
  • Reinstalled Claude CLI
  • Reinstalled VS Code extension
  • Cleared extension cache
  • Added code command to PATH
  • Ran claude upgrade

None of these fixed the extension button issue.
