What's Wrong?
When I try to run Cypress commands in the native UI within VS Code, the agent is not able to find the appropriate node module. It guided me to clear the Cypress cache and reinstall it. I've removed and reinstalled

Node as well. Eventually, I realized that switching to the terminal view instead of the native UI would run the commands properly.
What Should Happen?
Claude should be able to run the Cypress command and display its output.
