Bit is an interactive VS Code sidebar companion designed to ride the emotional roller coaster of software development right alongside you. Whether you are hitting compile on a flawless script or staring down a massive wall of crimson error text, Bit is in your corner—ready to loudly celebrate your victories or brutally roast your bugs.

✨ Features

• Real-Time Code Tracking: Bit watches your active debug sessions natively from the VS Code sidebar.
• Smart Multi-Session Detection: Specially optimized to handle complex debugging environments (like Node.js parent/child sessions) without triggering false alarms.
• Universal Language Support: Automatically catches runtime crashes, standard error (stderr) streams, exceptions, and unhandled promise rejections across Python, JavaScript, C#, C++, and more.
• Persistent Personality: Remembers its settings across editor restarts, with a built-in emergency reset when you need a fresh start.

🛠️ How It Works

Bit monitors your workspace using three powerful layers of defense:

1. The Exit Code Anchor: If a program exits with anything other than 0, Bit knows things went sideways.
2. The Stream Monitor: Catches output sent directly to standard error (stderr) before the program even has a chance to crash.
3. The Exception Catch: Listens specifically for unhandled exceptions and promise rejections.

This extension contributes the following commands to your command palette:
