Giancarlo Erra bbc68199c3 feat(extension): add VS Code and Open VSX extension
A new top-level `extension/` package containing the SocratiCode VS Code
extension. The same `.vsix` artefact ships to both VS Code Marketplace
and Open VSX, which means it installs cleanly in Cursor, VSCodium,
Gitpod, code-server, Eclipse Theia editors, Google Antigravity, and
Particle Workbench in addition to stock VS Code.

What it does:

- Auto-registers the SocratiCode MCP server in VS Code's MCP host via
  `vscode.lm.registerMcpServerDefinitionProvider` (VS Code 1.99+).
  Copilot agent mode, Cline, Continue, Roo Code and any other
  MCP-aware client see SocratiCode's tools without the user editing
  any `.vscode/mcp.json`.
- Forwards the user's `socraticode.env` setting to the engine
  subprocess unchanged. Power users point at an external Qdrant
  (`QDRANT_MODE=external` + `QDRANT_URL` + `QDRANT_API_KEY`), pick an
  embedding provider, or set any other engine knob exactly as
  documented in the engine README.
- Activity Bar sidebar with "Indexed projects" tree view and welcome
  content. Discovers projects by listing graph artefacts the engine
  writes to `os.tmpdir()/socraticode-graph/`.
- Webview panel for the interactive graph (`graphPanel.ts`). Reads
  the engine's self-contained HTML, wraps it with a tight CSP, injects
  a bridge script so node-clicks can `postMessage` back to the
  extension and open files in the editor.
- Status-bar item showing "SocratiCode" with click-to-open-sidebar.
  Honours the `socraticode.statusBar` setting.
- Two-step getting-started walkthrough (index your project, try
  search and the interactive graph). Shown automatically on first
  install; re-openable via the command palette.
- Command palette commands: index workspace, open graph, refresh
  projects, open walkthrough, show output.
- Output channel for engine logs.

Build: esbuild bundles `src/extension.ts` to `dist/extension.js` (CJS,
node18, sourcemap), `vscode` external. Biome lint and `tsc` strict
mode both clean. Manifest smoke tests via Node's built-in test runner
catch package.json regressions before activation. Packaged size:
~215 KB `.vsix`.

Versioning: extension version tracks the engine version (currently
`1.7.2`). Patch drift is allowed for extension-only hotfixes. The
`scripts/bump-plugin-versions.mjs` hook from the previous commit
already includes `extension/package.json` in its bump list, so future
engine releases keep the extension in lockstep automatically.

Initial release.

Features

  • Auto-registers the SocratiCode MCP server in VS Code's MCP host (Copilot agent mode, Cline, Continue, Roo Code) via vscode.lm.registerMcpServerDefinitionProvider. No mcp.json editing required.
  • Activity-bar sidebar with "Indexed projects" tree view and welcome content.
  • Status-bar item with click-to-open-sidebar.
  • Webview-based interactive graph viewer (reads the HTML produced by the engine's codebase_graph_visualize tool).
  • Getting-started walkthrough (index your project, try search and the interactive graph).
  • Commands palette entries:
    • SocratiCode: Index current workspace
    • SocratiCode: Open interactive graph
    • SocratiCode: Refresh indexed projects
    • SocratiCode: Open getting-started walkthrough
    • SocratiCode: Show output / logs
