I'm here to help out the maintainers and am going to see if I can fix the issue or at least get close enough to be helpful!

I can see you're experiencing an activation error with Roo Code v3.24.0 on macOS 10.15.7 with VS Code 1.85.2. The error appears to be related to Node.js API compatibility issues. I'll investigate this and work on a fix.

Could you please update your VS Code to the latest version? We officially only support the most recent releases and can’t guarantee compatibility with older versions.
