[Bug] VS Code rewind does not remove messages from Claude's context memory

Bug Description
Terminal (ESC + ESC) truly deletes the last message and response — it's gone from the screen and from Claude's memory. So if you ask "what was my last message?", Claude gives the correct answer.

VS Code Rewind only visually marks the rewind point but the message stays in Claude's memory. So if you ask "what was my last message?", Claude still sees the rewound message and gives the wrong answer.

Bottom line: Terminal rewind = true delete. VS Code rewind = fake delete.
