Partial A VS Code extension shell is simple to scaffold, but inspecting running process memory or source maps to map an arbitrary terminal log line back to its dynamic call stack requires deep debugger API integration.
What it would actually take: The extension must either parse structured stack trace metadata from log formats or hook directly into runtime debuggers via the VS Code Debug Adapter Protocol (DAP). It needs a runtime agent or sourcemap engine capable of translating minified terminal output back to original AST positions and active stack frames. This requires systems programming expertise in debugging protocols, runtime instrumentation (like V8 inspector or CDP), and VS Code internal extension APIs.
