Description

The Troubleshooting guide says to open the console and look at the console window.
But start up failures offer the use a button "Show Logs". But it does nothing.
Looking at the console window we see why:

2026-07-05 20:45:34.005 [error] Error: command 'continue.viewLogs' not found
at Zrt._tryExecuteCommand (vscode-file://vscode-app/Applications/Visual%20Studio%20Code.app/Contents/Resources/app/out/vs/workbench/workbench.desktop.main.js:1893:4832)
at Zrt.executeCommand (vscode-file://vscode-app/Applications/Visual%20Studio%20Code.app/Contents/

If I understand the README, it seems like 2.0 is planned as the last version of Continue. I hope that's not true.

Suggestion: It would make things easier for users if a viewLogs method were added.

To reproduce

1. Configure any of the setups where activation fails.
2. Press "Show Logs" button.
3. Expected behavior, Logs show up; Actual behavior: the failure alert disappears, showing no logs.
4. Look in console log, filter on "continue"
5. See the error message like I logged above complaining continue.viewLogs not found.
