Trawl - Version autocomplete and outdated warnings inside VS Code

Trawl connects VS Code directly to the npm registry. Open any package.json and it silently surfaces outdated dependencies as native diagnostics — red/yellow/blue underlines, just like TypeScript type errors. No commands, no terminal needed. • Semver-aware severity (major = error, minor = warning, patch = info) • Rich hover cards with live registry data • Version autocomplete with latest stable & dist-tags • One-click quick fixes to update or pin • Monorepo support with smart caching
