Thank you so much for working on this!

New sidebar menu item to open output channel

Very helpful!

New button in the Cody Setting menu to enable debug mode and open output channel on click

Also very helpful!

Could the button to enable debug mode also be available under the ... menu?

That way all the debugging tools are nested under there (having a one-stop shop for that stuff is super nice)

When cody.debug.verbose is off:
