…tensions Lead the Codespaces section with the simplest path — run notebooks directly in the default VS Code editor, skipping the Jupyter token and port-8888 steps. Preinstall the ms-python.python and ms-toolsai.jupyter extensions via the devcontainer so they are ready on first launch.
The workshop website (built by zensical from web/docs/index.md) has its own GitHub Codespaces section; mirror the README tip there so users reading the published install page also see the simpler VS Code path.

The GitHub Codespaces instructions (in both the README and the published install page) walk users through copying a Jupyter token and opening port 8888 in the browser.
When a Codespace opens in the default VS Code editor, you can skip all of that: just open a notebook, pick the Python kernel, and run the cells — VS Code talks to the kernel directly. This PR adds a short tip pointing to that simpler path, leaving the existing token/browser instructions in place as an alternative.
It also preinstalls the Python and Jupyter extensions via the devcontainer, so they are ready on first launch instead of being installed on demand when you open a notebook.
