What
A new function sends an experiment_gates message, carrying a set of experiment flags ("gates"), over the connection Claude Code uses to talk to its VS Code extension. If sending fails, it logs a warning rather than failing silently.
Why
This lets the VS Code extension know which experimental features are turned on for the session, keeping it in sync with the underlying Claude Code process.
