Description

Hi,

I was thinking about a feature which could be really helpful during audit contests:

Add a way to specify a scope file and an option to put a mark on all in-scope files on the vscode file tree.
It would avoid a lot of back and forth when reporting issues in big project since you would already know which files are in-scope in VScode.

Moreover some scope files are not that easy to read/search in, or not as easy as a little (blue?) mark on the vscode file tree.

Research direction

The issue does not name files, tests, or an existing scope-file format. Start by clarifying which scope files and VS Code tree marks are supported, how in-scope files are identified, and what happens when no scope file is available. Done means the agreed scope is visibly marked in the file tree and the behavior is covered by suitable tests.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
