vscode-extension: only show in FauxClaude-routed windows (v0.1.1)

The extension lives in the shared ~/.vscode/extensions dir, so it loads in every
window; the old 'dim llama when the shim is up' path made it appear in unrelated
projects (e.g. Meshtastic-Apple). Now it early-returns when the window's
ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL isn't the shim: no status item, no polling, nothing. Only
windows opened via the app's 'Open Project in VS Code' (which sets the env) show
the llama. Dropped the palette command contribution (registered at runtime only
in routed windows, so it no longer shows in the palette everywhere).
