Cinematic Errors

Turn common programming errors into dramatic, movie-trailer style messages so debugging feels a little more epic.

What it does

Watches diagnostics for the active editor
Matches common error patterns (null/undefined, type mismatch, missing properties, index issues, syntax, missing modules, network, timeouts)
Shows a short cinematic trailer message with a cooldown to avoid spam
Respects VS Code language (English/Spanish)
Sidebar shows a short history of recent trailers

In a world where null was never checked...
One missing guard would bring it all down.
This is that moment.

Two types. One impossible romance.
They were never meant to compile.
