What's Wrong?

The Claude Code VS Code extension (v2.1.129, win32-x64) fails to activate on Windows with Node.js 22, causing all commands to show "command not found".

Root cause: extension.js contains a hardcoded Linux CI build path passed to module.createRequire():

var y20 = Ai.createRequire("file:///home/runner/work/claude-cli-internal/claude-cli-internal/build-agent-sdk/sdk.mjs")

Node.js 22 rejects this URL on Windows, preventing the extension from activating.

Workaround: Replace with Ai.createRequire(__filename)

Environment: Windows 11, VS Code 1.118.1, Node.js 22.22.1, Claude Code extension 2.1.129

What Should Happen?

The extension should activate successfully on Windows with Node.js 22 without hardcoded Linux CI paths.
