Its primary jobs are + +1. Implement the IDE side of the Continue IDE protocol, allowing a Continue server to interact natively in an IDE. This happens in `src/continueIdeClient.ts`. +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.openDebugPanel` 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 `scripts/` (unless extension settings define a server URL other than localhost:8000, in which case the extension will just connect to that). -- cgit v1.2.3-70-g09d2
