What's Wrong?

when i start a new chat in the claude vscode extension and when i submit a prompt. claude is stuck thinking and never responds. i fixed this by running claude directly in the terminal and only then did i get the prompt to trust the folder. after i trusted the folder through the terminal claude, i went back to the vscode extension claude chat and prompted again, and thats when claude actually started responding to my prompts.

What Should Happen?

claude vscode extension should prompt user to trust folder ( like the terminal app does ) instead of just being stuck in "generating response mode"
