What's Wrong?

When trying to open a remote (web) Claude Code conversation from the Past Conversations → Remote tab in VS Code, the extension crashes with:

Error rendering content: Minified React error #185; visit https://reactjs.org/docs/error-decoder.html?invariant=185 for the full message or use the non-minified dev environment for full errors and additional helpful warnings.

The panel shows "Something went wrong — Re-launch the extension to continue." Reloading the window and fully quitting/reopening VS Code both produce the same error.

Environment:

VS Code extension: 2.1.92 (darwin-x64)
Claude Code CLI: 2.1.90
macOS Darwin 25.3.0

What Should Happen?

The remote conversation should load and be resumable locally.
