Problem Statement
Environment
- Claude Code VS Code Extension
- Host IDE: Google Antigravity (VS Code fork)
- OS: macOS
Current behavior
The chat input always shows a chip for the currently focused editor file
(e.g., report.html). Clicking the chip toggles visibility per-session,
but there is no persistent setting to disable this behavior entirely.
Proposed Solution
Requested
A setting like claudeCode.autoAttachActiveFile: false to permanently
opt out of attaching the active editor file. Users who rely on explicit
@-mentions don't need this auto-context and find the chip noisy.
