Single fix: VSCode extension failing to activate on Windows.

Dense fix release with two new additions. New: settings.autoMode.hard_deny lets teams define auto-mode classifier rules that block unconditionally, regardless of user intent or configured allow-exceptions; CLAUDE_CODE_ENABLE_FEEDBACK_SURVEY_FOR_OTEL re-enables the session quality survey for enterprises capturing responses via OpenTelemetry.

Fix cluster: MCP servers, plugins, and claude.ai connectors silently dropping after /clear; a login loop from concurrent credential writes overwriting freshly-rotated OAuth tokens; MCP OAuth refresh token races across multiple servers; a 400 API error when extended thinking emitted a redacted block after a tool call; --resume and --continue failing to find sessions on project paths containing underscores; plan mode failing to block file writes when a matching Edit(...) allow rule exists. WSL2: image paste from the Windows clipboard now works via PowerShell fallback.
