Describe the feature you'd like to request

Currently the minimum support VSCode version is set to 1.83 in package.json.

  "engines": {
    "vscode": "^1.83.0"
  },

Newer versions of vscode engine:

1. support more APIs, such as AI extensibility in VS Code
2. run on newer versions of Node.js which are in active support (receive security fixes) and run newer ECMAScript versions

Describe alternatives you've considered

Leave "as-is" until a specific VS Code API or feature of Node.js is required. This doesn't affect the running of the extension on newer versions.
