[ROADMAP] Serial Port Forwarding

[Jozott00]

The VS Code extension allows to connect to the serial port of the simulated microcontroller using an RFC2217 TCP server.

Serial Port Forwarding - Wokwi Docs

I was testing this myself by using a wokwi.toml such as

[wokwi]
version = 1
elf = "ESP32_GENERIC_C3-20240602-v1.23.0.bin"
firmware = "ESP32_GENERIC_C3-20240602-v1.23.0.bin"
rfc2217ServerPort = 4000

Apparently (and at least) on macOS 15.5 the TCP port 4000 isn't not being opened, nor any error messages.
Honestly I don't understand how we'd use this plugin if there's no way to "upload" and "run" using e.g. using

 mpremote connect port:rfc2217://localhost:4000 run main.py

As suggested in the VS-code plugin description ..

And also no REPL, so .. anyone out there that has any recipe that I've missed out on?

Other than that, being very excited about this plugin so thanks for the work put into this 👍🏻
