v2.1.0 — ADB Auto-Discovery & One-Click Install

ADB Auto-Discovery & One-Click Install

• Android Studio is not required — install ADB directly from within VS Code with a single click
• Automatically finds adb from ANDROID_HOME, ANDROID_SDK_ROOT, and common SDK install locations (macOS, Windows, Linux)
• No more "adb: command not found" when VS Code is launched from the dock/start menu instead of a terminal
• New logcatLens.adbPath setting to manually override the adb binary path
• Clear "ADB Not Found" screen with Install, Download, and Set Path options when ADB is missing
• Graceful error handling — if ADB becomes unavailable mid-session, the install screen is shown instead of cryptic errors
