Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
We now have good tracing capabilities in VS Code Extension.
But it is not recorded in the output service (as I understand, but I could be wrong).

Describe the solution you'd like
It will be very cool if we can get traces from some inference endpoint and check them with a tracing tool (like LangSmith).
Or we can download the logs from the endpoint via some REST function and check them in the VSCode Extension - this could also be very useful (possibly back-end integration without having to download anything manually).

Research direction

Start by reviewing the VS Code Extension's existing tracing capabilities and how inference endpoints connect to the output service. Compare the proposed LangSmith-style tracing flow with the alternative REST log-download flow; done should mean endpoint traces are accessible for inspection without manual log handling.
