Loading sessions hangs

Preflight Checklist

• [x] I have searched existing issues and this hasn't been reported yet
• [x] This is a single bug report (please file separate reports for different bugs)
• [x] I am using the latest version of Claude Code

What's Wrong?

• Works on v2.1.77, broken on v2.1.78+
• WSL2 Debian
• Extension host blocks for exactly 20s after Claude Code starts
• ExperimentalWarning: SQLite is an experimental feature in logs
• VS Code Server: cfbea10c5f

The SQLite warning is the likely smoking gun — something changed in how Claude Code uses Node.js's experimental SQLite between 2.1.77 and 2.1.78 that
breaks specifically on Debian (different libsqlite3 version or system library).

What Should Happen?

Claude code for VS coulde should load sessions and open
