Coder Desktop Integration

[ThomasK33]

Implement an enhancement making this extension aware of Coder Desktop. With Coder Desktop running, there is already an established tunnel to a workspace; thus, the extension does not need to create another tunnel.

The extension should prioritize the existing tunnel rather than creating a new one and should be able to display tunnel statistics related to the VPN within the editor.

Hi @fioan89. Can you start looking into this? I think the initial launch should contain this functionality.

[matifali]

@ThomasK33 and I can help with how Coder Desktop works here.

[fioan89]

Sure. Right now I was working on integrating uri handling. It's slowly progressing as Toolbox API is not as flexilblle as Gateway's API. Should I put it on hold?

[matifali]

No that's a higher priorty. This is something we can look into after that.

[fioan89]

OK, so I'll continue with uri handling if my understanding is correct.

[matifali]

This depends on coder/coder#16828 otherwise it would be too complex to handle different URIs for Coder desktop and existing Coder CLI.

We have a reference VS Code implementation at coder/vscode-coder#482
