@-file references with spaces in the path are not linked

Description

When a file path contains spaces, an @-quoted file reference is not rendered as a working clickable link. It shows as plain text instead of the blue linked style, and clicking it does nothing.

Example

@operations/Trading/0. Ad hoc scripts/zpysinfo-compiler.py

The parser appears to stop the path at the first space (after 0.), so the remainder (Ad hoc scripts/...) is treated as separate plain text and the reference never resolves to the actual file.

Expected behavior

The full path, including spaces, should be recognized and rendered as a working file link.

Actual behavior

Only the portion up to the first space is considered; the reference is not linked and is not clickable.

Notes

  • The same file references correctly when the path has no spaces (e.g. after renaming to a space-free path), which confirms spaces are the trigger.

Environment

  • Claude Code running in the VSCode extension
  • OS: Windows 11 Pro (10.0.26200)
