Description

**Bug Description**
In VS Code terminal mode (claudeCode.useTerminal: true), text I select in the editor is attached to every prompt. claudeCode.attachOpenFile: false only stops the open-file notice, not the selection. Please add a setting to turn off selection sharing without disconnecting the IDE integration entirely.

**Environment Info**
- Platform: win32
- Terminal: xterm-256color
- Version: 2.1.274
- Feedback ID: e6c17f4e-9104-4fa8-a614-3c041ca274b8

**Errors**
```json
[]
```

Research direction

Locate the existing claudeCode.attachOpenFile setting and the terminal-mode path that attaches selected editor text to prompts. Add a separate setting for selection sharing while preserving the IDE integration, then verify that disabling it stops selection attachments without affecting other integration behavior.
