What's Wrong?

Running /ide crashes with onInstall is not defined when no IDE has the Claude Code extension installed and exactly one running IDE is detected.

In the /ide command handler (IR4), when exactly one running IDE is found and onInstallIDEExtension is available, an inline React component is created with a useEffect that calls:

function mR4() { onInstall(ideToInstall) }

onInstall and ideToInstall are local variables in the parent IR4 async function scope, but they aren't captured by the anonymous inline component's closure.

What Should Happen?

/ide should detect the running IDE, install the Claude Code extension/plugin, and prompt the user to restart their IDE — without crashing.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Have an IDE running (e.g., VS Code) WITHOUT the Claude Code extension installed
  2. Launch claude
  3. Run /ide
  4. Only one running IDE is detected, triggering the auto-install path
  5. Crash: "onInstall is not defined"
