VSCode: Runs extensions in isolated Node.js process
Guardian: Run Love-Agent binary, communicate via JSON-RPC

}
}VSCode: LSP for code intelligence
Guardian: DSP (Damping Server Protocol) for industrial control
// dampingServer.ts - Implements LSP-like protocol

VSCode's philosophy: "Extensible editor for code"
Guardian's inversion: "Extensible control plane for physics"
VSCode Extension Host → Guardian Love-Agent Host
Language Server Protocol → Damping Server Protocol
Debug Adapter Protocol → Oracle Audit Protocol
