Cause

Section titled “Cause”

This report concerns the Claude Code plugin in VS Code. The maintainer stated that the plugin cannot use a proxy or hot-switch; both functions work only in the CLI.

The reporter found that after restarting the computer, only the default selected model changed while other models retained their previous configuration. Starting cc in the terminal applied the configuration immediately. The issue is closed, but the original post does not state that a plugin-side fix will be provided.
