Description

## Setup

Browser: Edge
Editor: VSCode

## Description

I don't know if other editors have this, but VSCode has vscode:// URLs that can open VSCode. It would be a nice experience to automatically start the editor instead of showing an error message if the connection fails.

Research direction

Start by locating the browser extension's startup flow and the code that shows an error when the editor connection fails. Review how the VSCode vscode:// URL can be invoked and determine the expected behavior when starting the extension. Done means the editor is automatically opened instead of only showing the connection error, with behavior for other editors clarified.
