That flicker (shows Pro account, then reverts to Console after 2-3 seconds) is a real sign of a race condition bug in the extension

What's Wrong?

The Claude Code panel in VS Code shows "Anthropic Console" as the Auth method under Account & Usage, even after successfully logging in via /login with my Claude Pro subscription account. Immediately after login, it briefly shows the correct account (Claude AI / Pro) for 2-3 seconds, then reverts back to "Anthropic Console."

The CLI (claude command in terminal) correctly authenticates and shows "subscriptionType":"pro" in .credentials.json, so the account/login itself is correct — this appears to be a display/session bug specific to the VS Code extension.

What Should Happen?

Account & Usage should consistently show my Claude Pro subscription account as the Auth method, matching what the CLI already shows, instead of reverting to Anthropic Console.
