[FEATURE] Config to move to Activity Bar in vscode

Problem Statement

I would like the spark icon for the vscode extension to show up in the Activity Bar with the rest of the extensions. I like to keep the primary side bar open, so I can do things like explore files. If I open Claude, I sometimes have to close the primary side bar because having both open at the same time takes up a lot of real estate in the editor.

Proposed Solution

Add a config that would allow users to move the spark icon to the Activity Bar with the rest of the extension icons. When you click on the spark icon, it would open the Claude extension in the primary side bar like other extensions. Ideally I'm looking for something that works like the GitHub Copilot extension.
