spinnerVerbs setting not respected in VSCode extension

Description

The spinnerVerbs setting with mode: "replace" does not appear to be respected when running Claude Code in the VSCode extension. Custom verbs are ignored and the default rotating verbs (e.g. "noodling", "puzzling", "combulating") still appear.

Settings configuration

"spinnerVerbs": {
    "mode": "replace",
    "verbs": ["Thinking"]
}

Location: ~/.claude/settings.json

Expected behavior

Only "Thinking" should appear in the spinner.

Actual behavior

Default spinner verbs still rotate as if the setting is not applied.

Environment

• Client: VSCode extension
• OS: Windows 11 Enterprise
