* Add merge script for extension configuration policies from distro
Adds build/lib/policies/mergeExtensionPolicies.ts which fetches the
distro's product.json (at the commit pinned in package.json) and merges
extensionConfigurationPolicy entries into policyData.jsonc.
The --export-policy-data step only captures policies from the OSS
configuration registry. Extension policies (e.g., Copilot settings)
are defined in vscode-distro's product.json and are not available in
the OSS dev build. This merge script bridges that gap.
Workflow: ./scripts/code.sh --export-policy-data && node build/lib/policies/mergeExtensionPolicies.ts
Also updates:
- policyExport integration test to run the merge step
- add-policy skill documentation with extension policy lifecycle
* Simplify extension policy format: drop localization block from distro
- mergeExtensionPolicies.ts now reads only description/category from
the distro and synthesizes localization key/value pairs internally
- Integration test gracefully skips merge step when distro is unavailable
- Updated SKILL.md to document the simplified distro format
* docs: use gh auth token in policy export command
* Handle old distro format missing description/category fields
* docs: add troubleshooting section for merge step in policy skill
* Require description and category fields in extension policy entries
* Add extension configuration policies to policyData.jsonc
* Address PR feedback: fix disclaimer, log targetPath, strip GITHUB_TOKEN from test
* fix: revert extension policies from policyData.jsonc, remove console.log from test
Extension policies should only be added after the distro PR merges.
Test runner disallows console output in tests.
* Add mock distro test for mergeExtensionPolicies, remove merge from export test
- mergeExtensionPolicies.ts: add DISTRO_PRODUCT_JSON env var to
override the distro path (for testing without private repo access)
- New test: creates a mock product.json, runs the merge script,
verifies policies are added correctly and idempotently
- Export test: no longer runs the merge step (avoids needing
distro access or GITHUB_TOKEN in CI)
* Update distro and regenerate policyData.jsonc with extension policies
* Fix CI: add extension policy fixture for export test
The export test now runs mergeExtensionPolicies using a checked-in
fixture file instead of requiring distro access or GITHUB_TOKEN.
When extension policies change in the distro, regenerate both
policyData.jsonc and the fixture file.
* Integrate extension policy merge into --export-policy-data
- Removed mergeExtensionPolicies.ts — no separate CLI tool needed
- --export-policy-data now reads build/lib/policies/extensionPolicies.json
and merges extension policies into the output automatically
- Single command workflow: ./scripts/code.sh --export-policy-data
- Simplified test — no merge step, no GITHUB_TOKEN, no distro access
- Updated SKILL.md to document the simplified workflow
* Dynamic distro reading: --export-policy-data fetches from distro directly
- policyExport.contribution.ts reads distro product.json dynamically:
1. DISTRO_PRODUCT_JSON env var (for testing)
2. .build/distro/mixin/stable/product.json (local checkout)
3. GitHub API with GITHUB_TOKEN (remote fetch)
- New scripts/export-policy-data.sh wrapper: sets up GITHUB_TOKEN
via gh CLI and runs the export
- Deleted build/lib/policies/extensionPolicies.json (no static copy)
- Test uses DISTRO_PRODUCT_JSON with a fixture file
- Uses sandbox process.env and VSBuffer (renderer-safe)
* Replace bash wrapper with cross-platform TS script
- New build/lib/policies/exportPolicyData.ts: handles transpilation,
GITHUB_TOKEN setup via gh CLI, and runs --export-policy-data
- Added 'npm run export-policy-data' script to package.json
- Removed scripts/export-policy-data.sh
- Updated SKILL.md and test error message
* Use OAuth device flow for GitHub token acquisition
exportPolicyData.ts now acquires tokens via:
1. GITHUB_TOKEN env var (if set)
2. gh CLI (fast, non-interactive)
3. GitHub OAuth device flow (interactive, no dependencies)
Based on vscode-copilot-chat's getToken.mts pattern.
* Fix error messages to reference npm run export-policy-data
* Fix disclaimer to reference npm run export-policy-data, clean up stale refs
* Clarify test fixture is static and not expected to track distro changes
* Add inline comment in test clarifying fixture is static
* SKILL.md: add step to update distro commit hash in package.json
* Remove inline comment per PR feedback
* Remove local .build/distro/ fallback path per PR feedback
