[BUG] Regression: "command 'claude-vscode.editor.openLast' not found" returns in v2.1.53 and v2.1.55 (fixed in v2.1.52)

What's Wrong?
The Claude Code VS Code extension fails to activate on Windows 11, producing the error command 'claude-vscode.editor.openLast' not found. This was fixed in v2.1.52 but has regressed in both v2.1.53 and v2.1.55. Downgrading to v2.1.52 restores full functionality.
What Should Happen?
Clicking the Claude Code icon in the VS Code activity bar should activate the extension and open the Claude Code panel. All claude-vscode.* commands should register and function normally, as they do in v2.1.52.
