Description

Seems like VS Code finally added gutter icons from intelliJ:

https://devblogs.microsoft.com/python/python-in-visual-studio-code-september-2021-release/#the-editor

THe play button in the gutter is much better approach than the code lens, we should use it.

I don't understand what are the relevant extension points though

Research direction

Start with the linked VS Code September 2021 release article and investigate the relevant extension points for gutter play buttons. Compare that approach with the current code-lens behavior; done means defining and implementing a clear way to run code from the gutter instead.
