Bug Description
I am using VSCODE and you totally restricted how i use claude code i can't exit it and then run bypass mode you made this really impossible to use it's horrible, you just limited it and now there is no way to use claude code properly in the IDE how i used to use it befor eit's impossible i had a perfect set up and now you just made to be all LOCKED up so users can't do what they want.

This is the worst update i've ever seen you do so far
None of the slash / commands now work that i want to use in the IDE, i can't exit it and retart it you are making it too polished and restrictive what a mess

I stopped using the plugin for VS Code. Instead, I launch Claude Code from the VS Code terminal. I get the expected performance on v2.0.1 as long as I use the terminal. This workaround makes SuperClaude agents functional again, along with other features.

Sorry for the disruption to your workflow! The new native extension is still in beta so has a bit of rough edges, thanks for bearing with us.

Claude Code CLI is still fully accessible in all the ways as before in the terminal - whether it be the built-in VSCode terminal or an external terminal (through the /ide command). You can run bypass mode by running claude in the terminal.

If you want the button to open up the terminal instead, there is also a useTerminal user preference setting that will cause the button to open up Claude in the terminal.
