Its primary jobs are 2. Open the Continue React app in a side panel. The React app's source code lives in the `react-app` directory. The panel is opened by the `continue.openContinueGUI` command, as defined in `src/commands.ts`. 3. Run a Continue server in the background, which connects to both the IDE protocol and the React app. The server is launched in `src/activation/environmentSetup.ts` by calling Python code that lives in `server/` (unless extension settings define a server URL other than localhost:65432, in which case the extension will just connect to that). -## Setting up for development +## How to debug the VS Code Extension -1.
