Cline Bug Misreports Failed Lint Checks as Passing in VS Code Remote-SSH
A user discovered that Cline versions 4.0.11 and 4.0.12 silently misreport shell command results when running inside a VS Code Remote-SSH session connected to a Linux VM. The bug causes execute_command to always return a generic success to the AI model, regardless of the actual stdout, stderr, or exit code. In one documented case, a failing Ruff lint check was recorded as passing, and inaccurate verification evidence was committed to the project's issue tracker. The reporter confirmed the issue with a minimal bash reproduction that exited with a non-zero status, which the VS Code terminal displayed correctly while Cline still reported success. The bug is scoped to Remote-SSH terminal mode, has been filed as issue #12723, and has not yet received a confirmed fix or root-cause analysis from maintainers.
