Description

When I tried to get vscode-js-debug to attach to a remote instance of Chrome, it throws this error Error launching browser: command 'js-debug-companion.launchAndAttach' not found

I traced it and found that it was because vscode-js-debug-companion does not allow itself to be installed in codespaces.

Can we allow this to be installable on codespaces?

No file, test, or entry point is named. Start by locating the extension manifest and its Codespaces or web installation restrictions, then verify that the companion can be installed in vscode.dev and Codespaces and that js-debug-companion.launchAndAttach is available for remote Chrome attachment.
