Hope they'll help.

Hi Banzai,
I installed the VS code as portable within my VAULT-AI folder, two reasons...
It's windows registry free and the VAULT_AI confines Antigravity intrusion on my system.
It's all working but I have not had time to use it, I plan on trading today and will take a more in-depth look at the weekend
I enclose the shared zip file so anyone that wants to can update their HomeLAB the same way.
Enjoy!

Walkthrough: HomeLAB v3.3 Distribution Zip Update

Changes Made
[HomeLAB Distribution Script]
Script:
rezip_homelab.py
Updates:
Included the VSCode/ portable folder in the zip root.
Implemented a robust exclusion list to keep the zip size manageable.
Excluded: .venv, logs, backups, __pycache__, and VS Code specific caches (Cache, CachedData, Code Cache, GPUCache, etc.).
Encoding Fix: Removed emojis from the script's output to prevent Unicode errors on Windows systems.

You can now post this version on the thread for others to try out. It provides a "zero-install" MQL development experience directly from the VAULT-AI folder.
