What happened?

Hello, I’m experiencing an issue with the cline extension when multiple users try to use it on the same remote machine via SSH using Visual Studio Code’s Remote Extensions.

Environment:

• Visual Studio Code Version: 1.95.3 Windows, 1.95.3 MacOS
• Cline Extension Version: 2.1.6
• Remote OS Version: Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS
• Local OS Version (for both users): Windows 11 24H2, MacOS Sequoia 15.1.1
• VS Code Remote SSH Extension Version: v0.115.1

Expected Behavior:
User B should be able to use the cline extension independently without any errors.

Actual Behavior:
User B receives the following error message:
Cannot register multiple views with same id claude-dev.SidebarProvider
As a result, the cline extension does not function for User B.

Questions:

• Is there a way to configure the cline extension to support multiple users on the same remote machine?
• Are there any recommended workarounds to prevent this conflict?
• Does the extension support multi-user environments when using VS Code Remote SSH?

Thank you for your assistance.

Steps to reproduce

1. User A connects to the remote machine via SSH in VS Code and installs the cline extension.
2. User A uses the cline extension without any problems.
3. User A disconnects from the remote session.
4. User B connects to the same remote machine via SSH in VS Code, with the cline extension already installed.
5. User B attempts to use the cline extension.
