VS Code’s Connor breaks down the shift from local, window-bound agents to a more flexible Agent Host Protocol that can keep sessions alive, sync state across machines, and support remote, long-running workflows. He explains how the protocol opens the door to richer orchestration, multi-client experiences, and custom tools built on top of VS Code’s agent ecosystem—while hinting at where agent-powered development is headed next.
