[FR]: Extend compatibility to positron

[JamesHWade]

What would you like to have?

With the release of Positron, I would like for the chat app to work inside of that IDE much like it does in RStudio. There's a lot of active work on rstudioapi compatibility with Positron, but I bet we can get a minimal version working today.

I'm 100% ok with this

I also immediately thought of implementing models when i saw the positron announcement, there are vscode extensions that do just that that seem to work great with positron e.g.: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=Rubberduck.rubberduck-vscode so to add value would have to be more flexible in terms of the set of models you accommodate (doable) or tighter integration with the unique features in positron

This is the list of issues we need to track:

• Display local HTML files in Viewer posit-dev/positron#2559
• Support for running scripts in separate process posit-dev/positron#3173
