The Pine Script v5 Language Server Extension is a powerful addition to your VS Code setup, designed specifically to enhance the development experience for Pine Script v5. It brings a suite of advanced features to your fingertips, including robust syntax highlighting and intelligent code completion, which greatly facilitate the coding process. While TradingView offers an excellent domain-specific text editor, it lacks the level of customization that some users may desire. The advent of AI technology presents an opportunity to harness these tools to accelerate the production speed. This potential was one of my motivations for developing this extension. Furthermore, VS Code is on the cusp of releasing API features that will allow the creation of custom copilot agents, a capability already available in the insiders edition, which could provide additional impetus for using this extension. My aspiration is that the Pine Script community finds great value and utility in this tool, as its development has been a significant endeavor.

-
Correct Typos and Grammatical Errors

- TradingView Script Syncing: Explore secure methods for synchronizing scripts with TradingView. Although a direct approach using the sessionId was identified, it was not pursued due to respect for TradingView's policies and potential security concerns. Future plans include developing a solution that could involve a Chrome extension facilitating script operations without exposing sensitive session information. This would require users to be logged into their local Chrome browser. Contributions, especially from those with experience in Chrome extension development, are welcome and encouraged.
