Description
These are the F1 commands that this extension provides:

I think some of these commands can be cleaned up.
- Close instance - I think the instance should be closed by just closing the browser tab in VS Code, I don't see the need for this command.
- Open Browser with DevTools - I think
Open Browseris sufficient, if the action to open the dev tools for this browser is discoverable. Maybe the browser should remember if the dev tools were opened the last time and just restore them., - Toggle browser - I'm not sure this command is needed. It also does not seem to do anything for me.
- Toggle CSS mirror editing on/off and View Documentation - these commands should only show when the browser is focused

Research direction
No source files or tests are named. Start by locating the F1 command registrations and their visibility and browser-behavior handlers in the extension; then determine how each listed command should be changed. Done means the agreed command set, browser-tab behavior, DevTools restoration, and browser-focused visibility rules are implemented and verified.
