If sending fails, it logs a warning rather than failing silently.\n\n**Why**\n\nThis 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.\n\n- Area: Elsewhere\n- Tier: Under the hood\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 2\/5"}
