Bug Description
The error command 'claude-vscode.editor.openLast' not found appears on startup in v2.1.55 on Windows 11, despite this being reportedly fixed in v2.1.52.
Steps to Reproduce
- Install Claude Code v2.1.55 (VSCode extension) on Windows 11
- Open any workspace in VSCode
- Error notification appears at bottom:
command 'claude-vscode.editor.openLast' not found
Environment
- OS: Windows 11 Pro 10.0.26100 (x64)
- VSCode: 1.109.5
- Claude Code CLI: 2.1.55
- Extension: anthropic.claude-code-2.1.55-win32-x64
What was tried (all failed to fix)
- Reload Window (Ctrl+Shift+P → Reload Window)
- Uninstall + reinstall extension
- Remove ALL old extension versions (2.1.49, 2.1.51, 2.1.52, 2.1.53) keeping only 2.1.55
- Clear extension globalStorage and CachedData
- Clean uninstall (remove extension files + clear extensions.json manifest + force reinstall)
- Change
claudeCode.preferredLocationfrom"panel"to"sidebar" - Complete VSCode restart (File → Exit, reopen)
Workaround
Downgrading to v2.1.49 resolves the error. The issue appears to be a regression that persists in v2.1.55 despite the fix noted in v2.1.52 changelog.

The error triggers from status bar click handler ($h.onClick), suggesting the extension's command registration races with VSCode's UI restoration.
