.vscodeignore currently doesn't exclude bin/**, so all files under bin/ will be packaged into the VSIX. The !bin/**/*.exe negation has no effect unless bin/** is excluded first. Consider excluding bin/** and then re-including only the required CLI artifacts (e.g., !bin/**/*.exe, and any other required files), to avoid accidentally shipping large publish outputs.

package-lock.json is not excluded, so it will be included in the published VSIX even though it isn't needed at runtime. Add it to .vscodeignore to reduce package size.

Applied all changes from that review thread in commit 5ee1c99:

• .vscodeignore: Added bin/** before !bin/**/*.exe so the negation works correctly, and added package-lock.json to reduce VSIX size
• tsconfig.json: Removed DOM from lib to avoid masking browser-only globals in the Node extension host
• package.json: Changed activationEvents from onDebug to onDebugResolve:winapp so the extension only activates for WinApp debug sessions
• README.md: Updated "How it works" step 2 to accurately describe that the extension scans for .exe files and uses manifest from launch.json or CLI auto-detection
• docs/getting-started.md: Updated the winapp run description to say it takes a build output folder (with optional --manifest), not a path to AppxManifest.xml
