This looks like a really helpful addition to the VS Code ecosystem. Managing dependencies and keeping track of vulnerabilities is often overlooked until it becomes a real issue. Great to see Composer support being added—PHP and Laravel devs will definitely benefit from having everything integrated into their IDE. Looking forward to seeing Flutter and Python support in future updates!
