Adds a custom tree view section named Workspace Switcher inside VS Code's Explorer sidebar.

Overview

Features

• Displays workspaces in opened and recent groups.
• Sorts each group newest-first and highlights opened workspaces in blue.
• Tracks opened workspaces in recent history without duplicates; a workspace appears in recent once it is no longer listed in opened.
• Switch to an opened workspace or open a recent workspace separately.
• Remove a recent workspace from the list using its context menu.

The number of recent workspaces shown is controlled by the workspaceSwitcher.recentWorkspacesLimit setting (default: 10). Recent workspaces are collected while this extension is active in a workspace.
