Inline mdsmith diagnostics and quick fixes for Markdown.
The extension spawns mdsmith lsp over stdio. It surfaces
lint diagnostics as inline squiggles. Each fixable rule
contributes a quick fix. A source.fixAll.mdsmith action
runs mdsmith fix on the whole buffer.
Prerequisites

the mdsmith.path setting. Install with
go install github.com/jeduden/mdsmith/cmd/mdsmith@latest
or download from the

Building from source
The extension uses Bun for both bundling
and tests:
bun install
bun test
bun run build.ts # one-shot bundle to dist/
bun run build.ts --watch # rebuild on change
bunx --bun @vscode/vsce package produces the .vsix.
