Bug Report
When switching between Claude accounts in VSCode:
Steps to reproduce:
- Switch to a different Claude account (with a different email) in VSCode
- Restart VSCode
- Check the system context/user email shown in Claude Code
Expected behavior:
System context should reflect the currently authenticated account's email
Actual behavior:
System context remains locked to the original account's email (user@email.com) even after:
- Switching to a different account with a different email
- Restarting VSCode
- The usage data and account type correctly update to the new account, but the system email context does not
Environment:
- VSCode with Claude Code extension
- Switching between a teams and enterprise account with different email addresses
