Pull request overview
This PR updates VS Code’s “Agents” nomenclature by replacing user-facing references to “Agents app/application” with “Agents window” across the Sessions window and related accessibility/settings surfaces, and includes a small refactor in the Electron main process to deduplicate context window resolution logic when opening windows.
Changes:
- Update several localized strings to say “Agents window” instead of “Agents app/application”.
- Update Sessions chat accessibility help text to use the new naming.
- Refactor
WindowsMainServiceto centralize context-window selection logic via a newresolveContextWindowhelper.
