I do not want to mislead you but as soon as you said I'm running locally I could not help but to think your problem is related to an issue that I explain here:
If you try to setup a local environment and run it outside, you might hit the issue that the setup for coderoad depends on the user that starts the process and opens vs code, to have root privileges escalation ability and it has to be passwordless, as well. Otherwise the proper files will silently failed to be setup.
I am not explicitly saying this is exactly the case for you, since I do not know what you are doing, but I would not be surprise since the situation is real. I hope that letting you know you might troubleshoot it that way.
