Description

🐛 The bug

To get the VSCode devtools integration, you are met with this message:

Install VS Code Server
It seems you don't have code-server installed.
Learn more about it with this guide.
Once installed, restart Nuxt and visit this tab again.

The issue is that the URL provided tries to get you to use code-server, which Microsoft has abandoned. Following their docs, if you try you get
wget: bad address 'vscodeserverlauncher.blob.core.windows.net'

And their docs suggest to use tunneling. Here is a related issue: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/206210

🛠️ To reproduce

Use devtools on a device that doesn't have code-server and try to install code-server

🌈 Expected behavior

The VSCode integration to work

Research direction

No file or test is named. Start by locating the VSCode devtools installation flow and reviewing the linked Microsoft tunneling guidance; the work is complete when the integration no longer directs users to the abandoned code-server setup and works through the supported method.
