A VS Code extension that plays funny audio feedback for terminal commands.

Abe Yaar listens for terminal command completion events inside VS Code. When a command finishes:
success (exit code 0) plays system_phar_denge.mp3
failure (non-zero exit code) plays abe_yar.mp3
Features
Real detection of command exit status using VS Code terminal shell integration.
Plays custom audio for success and failure.
Configurable settings to enable or disable sounds.
Works on macOS, Windows, and Linux.
