Interesting. This is possibly too late to get a response, but can you give me any more detail? What constitutes chatty? What IPC mechanism? Is it just that the API for extensions is so wide open?
And still, do those things prevent something else from synchronizing UI state? Completely let VS Code run normally, even with a fake X server if I need... and then another extension that just syncs the current state of each UI panel to an emulated one in browser?
Anyway, sounds like you've thought this through or see obvious holes... I'd really like to understand more of why it's unworkable, or how it could be doable with other compromises. Thanks in advance.
