  Description:

  When authorizing the Cody VS Code extension in VS Codium, the authentication flow does not work properly.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Install Cody extension in VS Codium
2. Initiate authentication flow
3. After authenticating in browser, the redirect tries to open a vscode:// link in VS Codium

Expected behavior:

The authorization link should open within VS Codium to complete authorization.

Actual behavior:

The vscode:// link fails to open in VS Codium, leaving authentication incomplete.

Root cause:

The authentication flow seems to use hard-coded vscode:// links instead of vscodium:// links. VS Codium requires vscodium:// protocol to handle custom internal links.

Proposed solution:

Detect if editor is VS Codium and use vscodium:// links when needed.

Has anyone managed to get cody to work with VS Codium? I've tried running in a terminal

xdg-open vscodium://sourcegraph.cody-ai?code=sgp_code

and I got "Operation not supported". I suspect it has to do with the fact that VSCodium doesn't support telemetry.

Yes, there is an issue with instructions that I found but can't find again so I'll retype here.

Create a json file on disk with your access token structured like this:

{
  "token": "YOUR_TOKEN_HERE"
}

And add this line to VSCodium json settings:

  "cody.experimental.localTokenPath": "TOKEN_FILE_PATH_HERE",

Then restart VSCodium and it should work.

@wyrd-code that worked like a charm, thank you!
