Quick Start

- Open the
Bridge view from the Activity Bar.
- Configure
stealthChat.serverUrl and at least one item in stealthChat.connections.
- Pick the active connection and start chatting.
Connection Prerequisites
This extension expects an existing Stealth Chat server. It does not provision a server for you.
The Activity Bar entry is intentionally labeled Bridge to keep the in-editor entry less conspicuous.
For server setup and deployment details, see the monorepo guide:

Images And Sync
- Image messages are supported in both chat and compact log views.
- Large images can be uploaded through the connected server and previewed from the chat view.
- Background sync keeps configured conversations updated even when the main view is not focused.
