When startup multiple claude code instance inside the same workspace, the IDE integration in the first claude code instance will be cut off.
Proposed Solution
check https://github.com/tjx666/vscode-mcp/tree/100edfb81a92ce50f64195c812de26ec855f010d
我不知道 claude code 是怎么实现 和 vscode 插件的链接的， 但是像我那个插件那样使用 JSON Unix Socket 就可以实现多个 claude code 链接到同一个 vscode 插件。

+1 - When working on multiple git branches simultaneously, I need to open multiple terminal sessions to run separate Claude Code instances. The VSCode extension only supports one session per workspace window. This forces a clunky workflow:
Expected: Ability to run multiple Claude Code sessions within the same VSCode window, ideally with branch/worktree awareness. VSCode's new background agents feature (#13596) would help here - each agent could work in its own worktree.
