Bugfix release

Fixes a latent bug present since 0.6.0. Recommended for everyone on 0.6.x or 0.7.0.

What was broken

When you disabled or uninstalled the extension, the proxy child process stopped — but the ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL=http://127.0.0.1:9801 entry the extension had written into your claudeCode.environmentVariables setting persisted in settings.json. Claude Code in VS Code would then try to connect to a dead 127.0.0.1:9801 on every request and fail with:

[ERROR] API error (attempt 1/11): undefined Connection error.

Terminal claude was unaffected — it doesn't read the VS-Code-only claudeCode.environmentVariables setting.

What's fixed

deactivate() now removes the ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL entry it wrote on activate. The cleanup is conservative — only entries whose value contains 127.0.0.1 are removed, so user-set values (corp proxy, mitmproxy, custom upstream) are left alone.

Tradeoff

deactivate() also fires on VS Code window close, so the setting will be removed on shutdown and re-added on next activate. Minor settings.json churn — one entry toggling on/off per VS Code lifecycle. This is the price for not silently breaking on uninstall.

If you're already broken

Either:

  1. Install v0.7.1 and let the next disable/enable cycle clean it up.
  2. Or manually edit settings.json (Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+P → "Preferences: Open User Settings (JSON)") and remove the ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL entry from claudeCode.environmentVariables.
