Research direction
Reproduce the issue using the reported extension version in VS Code, entering ask mode with multiple tools enabled. Trace the TypeScript extension entry points for ask-mode tool selection and default tool configuration; done means individual tools can be disabled in ask mode and unwanted tools can be excluded by default.
