Unclear if setup is complete or broken

Thanks guys, this will be a really useful extension if I can get it to work.

It feels like there are some details missing from the extension docs or the socket.dev page:

• Detailed install steps
• What settings are required (if any)
• Is the extension functionally dependent on payed tiers (I assume not as it states it works without the api)
• What should users expect so see in the ui for different package scores

Steps to repro:

• Create free tier account on socket.dev
• Create an api key as per docs
• Install the VS Code extension
• Restart VS Code
• Connect to the socket.dev api with the key
• confirm [info] Socket Security extension started
• Open my project package.json

Expected

A warning and overlay of dependencies that pose risk as per docs at https://docs.socket.dev/docs/socket-for-vs-code

Actual

No warning on obviously out of date dependencies. Only a score shown on hover of dependency, e.g.

Env

• MacOS 15.7
• VS Code 1.104.2
• socketsecurity.vscode-socket-security 2.0.3
