3 months ago I'm out until Tuesday, if someone wants to take this over the finish line the two things left to do are:
- merge and publish new npm packages
- create cody PR which sets preloadDelay and updates deps for client and vscode-lib.
This setting allows us to preload the openctx providers after a delay (which could be zero milliseconds). The intention is for Cody to set a reasonable value here (5s?) so that when a user does the first @ mention the providers have already been fetched.
Test Plan: added logging and observed the preload completing before activating the cody chat panel. Then loaded the cody chat panel and instantly do a mention. All OpenCtx providers where immediate.
