Request: Add LabSTX as browser-based / zero-install alternative for Clarinet
What to add
Please add LabSTX as a convenient browser-based / zero-install alternative to installing and running Clarinet locally.

- Multi-file Clarinet projects (
Clarinet.toml, contracts, tests, settings)
clarinet check and Clarinet-compatible project workflows

This is especially helpful for newcomers, quick prototyping, or anyone who wants to avoid local setup.
