lgtm. My only question (more for my knowledge), our telemetry client doesn't support this or the o.g. method. Guessing thats because we don't want to accidentally send events while cruising around during development:
Is there a scenario where you'd specify a development KILOCODE_POSTHOG_API_KEY and then still want to use a local backend?

Add KILOCODE_BACKEND_BASE_URL environment variable to enable testing against a local Kilo Code backend. Refactor hardcoded API URLs across providers, webview, and CLI to use getKiloUrl() and getKiloUrlFromToken() functions for dynamic URL resolution. Include new launch configuration and documentation updates for local development workflow.
Replace the generic getKiloUrl function with two specific functions: - getApiUrl for API endpoints (e.g., /extension-config.json) - getAppUrl for app/web URLs (e.g., /profile, /support) This improves type safety and clarity by separating concerns between API and app URL generation. BREAKING CHANGE: getKiloUrl function removed, use getApiUrl or getAppUrl instead
Move getApiUrl, getAppUrl, and getKiloUrlFromToken functions from src/shared/kilocode/ to packages/types/src/kilocode/kilocode.ts and update all imports across the codebase. This consolidates shared utilities into the types package, reducing duplication and improving maintainability.

This PR builds off my original one, but adds a nice api so the code around most urls looks similar to before:
#3055
With this change, it's super easy to point a local Kilo development extension at a local backend just by changing the run target. This PR does not remove support for the kilocodeToken approach to changing the backendUrl– that's useful for pointing the production extension at local backends
