Is there any known APIs or ways to identify between code-server (running in browser) and VSCode (running on desktop)?

[rfc1941]

Dear developers,
Hello!
I was developing a extension for both code-server and desktop vscode. Due to the requirement of the extension, we need to identify if the runtime of the extension is code-server (browser) or VSCode (desktop application).
I've gone through google and vscode API documentations and no luck. So I came to ask about this.
Thanks everyone for helping!

Effort so far:
vscode.version (does not work as the version of code-server is identical to that on desktop)

I don't think there is an API for code-server. However, you could just use if else conditions and send pings to the system so that it finds the session(code-server/VSCode)

I feel like you should be able to achieve this through the VS Code API for Web Extensions maybe? I guess you need some check like:

if (RUNTIME === "web") {
} else {
}

Argh...I'm not sure to be honest 🤔 Here is how they do it upstream.
