I'm on windows 11, latest version of vscode. I'm using claude caude andd vscode extention
Every time I update the extension i need to re-authenticate, and also after re-authentication, I can't submit the same query, I need to fork it or something, there's no button like copilot to resubmit the same query

What Should Happen?

I expect to still be authenticated after updating the extension
