Bug Description
Issue: Claude Code IDE detection fails in VS Code Remote SSH environment
Details:
- Running Claude Code 1.0.44 via Remote SSH connection
- VS Code extension anthropic.claude-code@1.0.44 is installed and active
- Running from VS Code's integrated terminal (confirmed by TERM_PROGRAM=vscode)
- /ide command returns "The IDE cannot be detected but you did install the Claude Code for VSCODE extension"
- All standard troubleshooting steps attempted (restarting VS Code, reinstalling extension, running from correct terminal)
- claude doctor shows healthy installation
Environment:
- Platform: Linux (Remote SSH)
- VS Code version: 1.101.2
- Running via vscode-server in remote environment
- Terminal shows proper VS Code environment variables
Expected: IDE integration should work in Remote SSH environments
