[FEATURE]:Integrate with VS Code Sidebar

[tongdhW]

Feature hasn't been suggested before.

• I have verified this feature I'm about to request hasn't been suggested before.

Describe the enhancement you want to request

Please consider adding support for the VS Code sidebar, similar to how the Claude Code and Codex VS Code extensions work.

Having a dedicated sidebar panel would significantly improve usability and developer experience.

The beta does integrate with the sidebar, but seems to have difficulty connecting. It would be great to see more fully developed experience comparable with cline / roo / continue.dev extensions. Opencode is such a fantastic cli experience already but some of our team prefers the IDE integration.

This feature should be at the top of priorities. Should have been done before the standalone desktop app, honestly.
