Move table rendering from daemon to CLI client so the VS Code extension can parse structured JSON directly. Add a version command to the daemon and version compatibility checking in the extension with auto-reconnect when the daemon goes down or restarts.

Description
Adds a VS Code extension that connects to the dev-pm daemon socket to provide sidebar-based process management. Users currently need to switch to a terminal to check script status or run start/stop/restart commands — this extension surfaces that directly in the editor.
The extension lives in
vscode-extension/with its ownpackage.jsonandtsconfig.json. No monorepo tooling needed — it's a self-contained subfolder.What it provides:
statussocket command.logssocket command.pm.sockin workspace folders, watches for socket creation/deletionCommunicates with the daemon using the existing plain-text socket protocol (
<COMMAND> <JSON_OPTIONS>), parses the cli-table3 status output, and strips ANSI codes for clean display.Example

Inspired by pm2-vscode and pm2-explorer.
