Research direction

Start with the proposed flatpak-spawn --host code "$@" launch script and compare its behavior with the existing VSCode bridge. Done means host and Snap VSCode variants launch successfully from UnityHub, with both basic editing and debugging tested.

Description

What Happened

Currently, the included VSCode bridge Flatpak-packaged versions of VSCode. Host or Snap variants were not supported.

How to Reproduce

I've tried a basic launch script of

flatpak-spawn --host code "$@"

Basic editing works but I haven't tested debugging

The above is also capable of launching Snap's VSCode binary as well.
