I have set up a few scratch orgs, but am running into an issue with VSCode. When connected to a "normal" developer org, I am shown various options and context menus (eg, deploy manifest etc). When I am connected to a scratch org, all context options go away.
I've already tried logging out and re-authorizing the scratch org with a username/password, but that had no effect.
How can I fix this?

One work-around I noticed that seems to have worked for me is:
sfdx force:user:password:generate
sfdx force:auth:web:login --instanceurl https://test.salesforce.com
This feels like a bug - EG, after the weblogin credentials are set, metadata tools should become available automatically without having to restart the IDE.
This is as per the design. If you need this capability and have feedback I suggest raising it on the project github.
You can use the issue tab to describe your need and that would let the product team consider and prioritize it.
Another option in VS Code is to open the command palette and choose "Developer: Restart Extension Host" so you don't have to close and re-open the editor.
