Preflight Checklist
- [x] I have searched existing requests and this feature hasn't been requested yet
- [x] This is a single feature request (not multiple features)
Problem Statement
- The Claude Code VS Code extension currently shows motion/animation effects in parts of
the UI.
- Users who enable reduced-motion preferences still experience these effects
(In ~/.claude/settings.json file "prefersReducedMotion": true)
- This creates accessibility friction for people with vestibular disorders or motion
sensitivity.
Proposed Solution
Add a unified reduced-motion check used across the VS Code extension UI.
Priority
Critical - Blocking my work
