Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

In the Claude Code for Visual Studio extension's tool window (the panel with "Launch Claude Code" / "External console" buttons), every time the panel is opened (e.g. after reopening Visual Studio, or reopening the panel), the following checkboxes reset to unchecked:

  • Auto-accept (run wild)
  • Allow Claude to drive debugger
  • Allow screen capture

Only Notify appears to default to checked. This means I have to manually re-enable these permissions every time, which is repetitive when working in a session where I always want these enabled.

Describe the solution you'd like

Persist the checkbox state (e.g. per-solution or globally) so that once a user has enabled these options, they stay enabled the next time the panel/extension is opened, instead of resetting to off.

Describe alternatives you've considered

A settings file or option to configure the default state of these checkboxes would also work, even if the per-session toggle behavior stays the same.

Additional context

Extension: "Claude Code for Visual Studio" (ClaudeCodeVS.dll), installed under %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\VisualStudio\<version>\Extensions\.
