The infra I built for this extension allowed me to add the next interesting part, the VS debugger. When you're paused at a breakpoint, Claude can read the call stack and locals, and with a toggle it can drive the debugger itself: set breakpoints, step, start and stop a session, and find a bug by running the code instead of reading it.
There's a short walkthrough in the README where it catches a bug that never shows up in the output, by watching a counter fail to reset as it steps through a loop.
