Development of VSCode extensions
summary
Builds a working VS Code extension that pings hosts using Node.js and TypeScript, scaffolded with Yeoman and the vscode generator, demonstrating showInputBox, showInformationMessage, a status bar ping button, lazy activation via activationEvents, a live tree view + content provider that shows results and opens a text document for each probe, and a note about using webviews for richer UI. Demos run live (minor cache glitch handled) and includes code layout, testing hooks and API call examples.
