Language server auto kill process when using ssh
fixes #726 fixes #817
Summary
-
Added two new settings: teroshdl.cleanup.killServerProcesses.enabled (default false) and teroshdl.cleanup.killServerProcesses.gracePeriodMs (ms).
-
Implemented safe cleanup in rust_hdl.ts and verible.ts: pgrep -f via execFile, PID validation, send SIGTERM then SIGKILL after the grace period.
-
Cleanup runs only when enabled and the session is Remote‑SSH (vscode.env.remoteName check).
-
Added a Web UI indicator + commands (teroshdl.cleanup.openSettings)
Why I implemented the config option in VS Code settings:
VS Code settings give per-scope granularity: User (global), Workspace (project), and Remote (per-SSH-host).
Tests
I could not debug Teros extension when using it over SSH. So I had to build a release and test it.

@qarlosalberto How can I add this through auto_package?

}
Try directly here: https://github.com/TerosTechnology/vscode-terosHDL/blob/dev/auto_package/templates/package.nj
Or create a new .nj and include it there.
