What's Wrong?

When I try to submit an issue related to the VS Code extension such as #53091 the form requires two irrelevant inputs. One is the Claude Code version which tells the reporter to "Run claude --version and paste the output". Actually, this is in two places. The correct way to find the Claude Code version for the VS Code extension is look at the extension version. The output of claude --version when reporting VS Code extension issues is _wrong_ and confusing.

Second, there is a required question asking "Which terminal are you using?". Actually, when reporting bugs related to the chat window, the terminal is not used and irrelevant.

This is really discouraging to people who want to report VS Code extension bugs. If you want to encourage VS Code extension users to report bugs, please update your bug report template accordingly.

What Should Happen?

The github bug template provides guidance and capability for reporting a bug in the VS Code extension.
