Hi @award999 ,

Thank you for reviewing my PR and for the feedback! I really appreciate it.

I’m new to open source and haven't worked on a production codebase before, so your guidance is much appreciated as I’m still learning. I took on this feature to gain experience and contribute while preparing my GSoC proposal. In my eagerness to submit the PR, I was a bit hasty, as the proposal deadline is approaching. I’ll start working on fixing the issues right away.

If you have any advice or suggestions for improving this feature, I’d love to hear them so I can refine both my implementation and my GSoC proposal. I want to make sure it aligns well with the project's goals.

Thanks again for your time and guidance!

all PRs are appreciated :) you can always mark a PR as a draft until it's ready as you work through issues. The Run Extension launch configuration can be used to test out the commands and walkthrough

Noted, Sir! I'll use draft PRs moving forward and test with the Run Extension launch configuration. Thanks for the guidance!
