   The reusable R-side integration now lives in the bundled sess package. #1764 establishes explicit endpoint/discovery metadata and stable session IDs, so another editor could implement a client for that protocol and use sess::connect(endpoint = ...).

   That still requires an editor-side implementation of the session handshake, JSON-RPC handlers, and the viewer/editor requests it intends to support. Installing sess or languageserver alone does not provide a ready-made Neovim/coc integration.

   This answers the architectural part of the question; I have not verified a supported non-VS Code client.
