Description
Type: Bug
Connecting to a PG database does not work from AI Chat.
I get from @pqsql:
🔴 Disconnected! To interact with the database, open a query editor with an active connection.
But I have the MS extension for PG installed and an active connection.
Extension version: 1.8.0
VS Code version: Code 1.104.1 (0f0d87fa9e96c856c5212fc86db137ac0d783365, 2025-09-17T23:36:24.973Z)
OS version: Linux x64 6.8.0-84-generic

Research direction
Start by reproducing the reported @pqsql connection attempt from AI Chat with the PostgreSQL extension and an active database connection. Trace how AI Chat detects the active connection and compare that path with the query editor; done means @pqsql recognizes the connection and no longer reports that the database is disconnected.
