What This Extension Does

This extension detects three states:

• editor: VS Code window is focused AND an active text editor exists
• terminal: VS Code window is focused AND an active terminal exists (but no active editor)
• other: All other cases (sidebar focused, window unfocused, etc.)

Commands run only when the state changes. The initial state is evaluated at startup and its command runs once.
