Description
When the VS Code extension downloads the Coder CLI binary, the progress notification displays the deployment base URL (e.g., Downloading https://example.coder.com: 17 MB / unknown) rather than a descriptive message indicating what is actually being downloaded.
This is confusing because:
- It's not clear that the Coder CLI is being downloaded
- The URL shown is the deployment URL, not the actual download URL for the binary
- The message doesn't help users understand what's happening
Current Behavior
The notification shows:
Downloading https://<deployment-url>: 17 MB / unknown
Expected Behavior
The notification should clearly indicate it's downloading the Coder CLI, e.g.:
Downloading Coder CLI from <deployment-url>: 17 MB / unknown
or similar wording that makes it obvious what is being downloaded.
Root Cause
In src/core/cliManager.ts (line ~496), the progress title is set to:
title: `Downloading ${baseUrl}`,
where baseUrl is client.defaults.baseURL — the deployment's base URL, not a description of what's being fetched.
