[BUG] Claude steals focus on startup in vscode

What's Wrong?

Whenever I open vscode I am ready to start typing in the terminal or editor.
What happens though is a few seconds after everything else has loaded, the claude extension finally loads and opens its chat.
When it does this it moves the focused input from wherever I am to the claude box, which often ends up in me tpying half a command into claude.

What Should Happen?

It should not focus its input without explicit user interaction
