[FEATURE] Voice mode in VS Code on WSL

Problem Statement

I use a Windows computer and work in WSL2 (Ubuntu). I generally use Claude Code through the first-party VS Code extension. The Claude Code documentation states that voice mode is only available in local mode and not through SSH or other remote modes. I think voice mode gets blocked in WSL-mode for VS Code as it falls into one of these "unavailable" classes. This should be a special case and allow voice mode when in WSL. I am able to start up a terminal in the IDE and run Claude Code with voice mode there but the extension does not provide it.

Proposed Solution

I am not sure how the Claude Code extension is is detecting which mode VS Code is operating on and if that is used to block voice mode availability. There probably just needs to be an extra check to allow voice mode when using the VS Code extension in WSL.

Alternative Solutions

The only way I found is just to use Claude Code in the terminal but that defeats the purpose of the Extension.
