Pull request overview
Updates the VS Code extension “getting started” documentation to reflect that the Aspire Dashboard no longer opens automatically when starting an AppHost, and directs users to the explicit “Open Dashboard” affordances instead.
Changes:
- Simplifies the gutter decoration section by removing the detailed icon legend table.
- Adds a note explaining how to open the dashboard via CodeLens/command now that it doesn’t open by default.
- Removes the dedicated “Dashboard from VS Code” section.

The Aspire Dashboard no longer opens by default when starting an AppHost from VS Code, so update the extension docs to point users at the Open Dashboard CodeLens/command instead.
Also removes the old dashboard section and trims the gutter decoration details now that the screenshot covers the visual state.
Tested with
pnpm --dir src/frontend test:unit:docs.
