Unable to open in existing instance outside of code-server

Can you elaborate on this?

Opening a file in a running instance of code-server only works inside VS Code's own terminal and not outside in an external terminal like it used to:

$ code-server -r /path/to/file
[2021-12-16T17:30:07.975Z] error got error from VS Code {"error":{"errno":"ENOENT","code":"ENOENT","syscall":"connect","address":"/run/user/1000/vscode-ipc-11493680-caf5-47f6-9318-e6a6838123ac.sock"}}

The problem is that we no longer store the socket path so code-server is not able to get the latest socket.

I think the move will be to delegate this functionality to VS Code by calling its CLI instead of hitting the socket directly. Ended up not being a viable option since it expects to be passed the socket.
