What's Wrong?

I have light theme enabled for VS Code. Claude for VS code shows chat in light background but any code snippets do not respect the VS Code theme settings (light /dark). This stark contract is off-putting and sometimes hard to read.

What Should Happen?

The code snippet within the Claude chat window in VS Code should switch between light/dark based on theme settings.
