Summary of Changes

Hello @skeshive, I'm Gemini Code Assist¹! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request focuses on making the documentation for IDE integration more generic and inclusive. It updates the README.md to remove the specific mention of 'VS Code' in the description of the IDE integration feature, replacing it with a broader 'IDE companion' term. This change suggests a move towards supporting or describing integration with various IDEs rather than being limited to a single one.

Highlights

• Documentation Update: The README.md file has been updated to reflect a more generic description of IDE integration, changing 'VS Code companion' to 'IDE companion'.

Code Review

This pull request updates the README.md to generalize the description of the IDE integration feature, changing it from a 'VS Code companion' to a more generic 'IDE companion'. While this aligns with the pull request's goal, the change is premature and makes the main README.md inconsistent with the implementation and other documentation, which still state that only VS Code and its forks are supported. This can be misleading for users. I have left a comment detailing this issue.

[gemini-code-assist]

This change describes the feature as a generic 'IDE companion', which is inconsistent with the current implementation and other documentation files. The feature still appears to be limited to Visual Studio Code. For instance, docs/ide-integration/index.md states, 'Currently, the only supported IDE is Visual Studio Code...'. Similarly, error messages within the CLI code specify support only for 'VS Code or VS Code forks'. This discrepancy is misleading to users and sets incorrect expectations about the feature's capabilities. To ensure documentation accuracy, this change should be accompanied by the full implementation of generic IDE support, or it should be reverted until the feature is truly IDE-agnostic.
