Could you build this?
Partial Developing a sophisticated VS Code extension with parallel subagent orchestration, streaming diff review, and local language server integration requires advanced knowledge of the VS Code extension architecture and distributed agent runtimes.
What it would actually take: The architecture requires a TypeScript/Rust core server running OpenCode or similar agent runtimes, communicating via Language Server Protocol (LSP) and JSON-RPC with the VS Code extension API. It needs custom diff visualization editors, thread management for asynchronous parallel tool execution, and local git working tree manipulation.
