Restores hibernated dependency and build folders (node_modules, .venv, target/, ...) when you open a project in VS Code.
On startup, and whenever a folder is added to the workspace, the extension looks for a .dormant/state marker in each workspace folder or any parent. If it finds one, it runs dormant wake --quiet <project root>. Folders without a marker cost a few file existence checks and nothing else.
Requirements
The Dormant CLI must be installed and on your PATH (or set dormant.executablePath). The extension contains no restore logic of its own.
The extension is disabled in untrusted workspaces, because it runs an executable in the workspace folder.
