fix: add connection status indicator to vscode windows, windsurf, open-remote-ssh

[ethanndickson]

Relates to #361.

With the previous PR (Coder Connect integration), it's important that users always see this indicator, so I've added support in some extra scenarios. It already works in Cursor.

Windsurf (macOS):

VS Code (Windows):

I've been told Windows used to have the indicator, but they must have changed the format of this one log line to not have parity with the other platforms.

It looks like we need to do more research on Windows.

I've tested this on Windows now and it shows the same one as on Linux, I'll keep it in #665 for older VS Code versions but that's indeed curious 🤔

(Sorry for the poke)

[ethanndickson]

That's so strange - I'm running the latest stable VS Code (1.106) and the latest pre-release version of the Microsoft Remote -SSH extension (0.122.2025111815), and on Windows I do not see any strings that contain socksPort, however I still see:

[11:04:38.631] Spawned SSH tunnel between local port 64541 and remote target socket /tmp/code-bd4f351d-90b4-4ab3-8b32-76fbc17ae757

and the connection indicator still appears 🤔

Thanks for checking in any case! Windows is often neglected

Maybe it depends on the SSH version used? This one is Ubuntu (a bit older though) and it shows the same one: microsoft/vscode-remote-release#297
