Why can't Code Server, like https://vscode.dev/, allow reading local folders, editing and running code?

Code-server version: v4.9.1

I am not sure why you cannot open local folders, this just seems to be the way they made the serverful web version of VS Code (code-server is just VS Code web with a bit of patching). You might get better answers from the VS Code team: http://github.com/microsoft/vscode

As for running code from local files, this seems tricky just in general, it would require copying them to a server or running a server directly in the browser somehow (maybe with web containers or something). I am not sure if VS Code plans on adding anything like that.
