VS Code is a net-new EoS runtime that — unlike every prior migration — is NOT
CLI-installed (Marketplace/VSIX extension). It has zero runtime==='vscode'
branches in bin/install.js and stays that way (regression-guarded); it is driven
entirely through the negotiated imperative Host-Integration adapter.
Registry + validator (the hard part):
- capabilities/vscode/capability.json (role:runtime): full hostIntegration block
(imperative / palette / active vscode.lm model / engine hook bus /
sandboxed-storage / mcp transport / sandboxed-web runtime; dispatch nested,
maxDepth 5 per VS Code's documented subagent depth).
- capability-validator.cjs extended so a role:runtime capability can legitimately
declare "extension-distributed, no config directory": new configHome.kind:'none'
+ installSurface:'none' (+ GATE-A pairing + the parity maps), with localConfigDir
and configHome.name made conditional on kind!=='none'. All 18 runtimes still
validate; getDirName returns a distinct sentinel (not '.claude') for a no-config
runtime.
- The add-a-registry-runtime tax: NON_INSTALLABLE_RUNTIMES exemption in the
runtime-flags drift guard, vscode added to global-config-home SPECIAL_CASED,
EXPECTED_PROFILES.vscode='ide', and the config-adapter/derivation/pin-count
guards updated. No golden-install fixture, model-catalog, or CONFIGURATION rows
(vscode never enters allRuntimes).
Dispatch + extension surface:
- Fixed vscode/extension.js's createHub()-no-args bug (every dispatch was
UnknownCommand, masked by a vacuous reachability test) — now reuses the shared
dispatchGsdCommand subprocess-shim (Node/desktop); the reachability test is
tightened to assert real dispatch.
- Promoted the #1933 host binding to a shipped vscode/host-binding.js; activate()
now composes the model/hookBus/stateIO seams through it. Corrected the model
seam to VS Code's real API (vscode.lm.selectChatModels() -> model.sendRequest();
vscode.lm.sendRequest does not exist) so the binding actually composes on real
desktop VS Code instead of throwing.
- New vscode/browser.js Web Extension entry with ZERO Node APIs (the engine's
config/capability loading is Node-bound, so the web entry registers the surface
and directs full dispatch to the native MCP server — honestly documented).
- UPGRADE 1: GSD skills as native Language Model Tools (contributes.languageModelTools
+ vscode.lm.registerTool), invoke() dispatching through the hub.
- UPGRADE 2: native subagent dispatch wired onto #runSubagent /
chat.subagents.allowInvocationsFromSubagents (fail-soft on API availability,
maxDepth 5 enforced).
- vscode/package.json: browser entry, engines.vscode ^1.105, chatParticipants +
languageModelTools contributions; fixed a stale activationPoints->activationEvents
manifest key. Added "vscode" to the package files array.

Resolve the zcode test cascade exposed by gsd-test:
- model-catalog.json: add zcode runtimeTierDefaults (null tiers, matching the
other profile-marker-only runtimes) so KNOWN_RUNTIMES stays parity with allRuntimes.
- runtime-name-policy: add zcode to GLOBAL_CONFIG_HOME_FRAGMENTS (~/.zcode) so
getGlobalConfigHomeFragment stops falling through to the .claude default.
- installer-migration-install: add the zcode fresh-install contract (flat-skills,
no settings, no package.json — same shape as trae).
- golden-install-parity: capture the zcode fixture via a standalone generator
script (not node --test — the gate stays gsd-test).
- capability-matrix.md: regenerate so zcode appears as a first-party row.
Fluidify the remaining count-pinned guards so adding a runtime no longer trips a
hand-pinned snapshot: gemini-runtime-removed (flag count derives from the
registry), non-claude-runtimes-registry-derivation (golden list derived from the
registry).
* feat(#1928): remove sunset gemini cli runtime, redirect to antigravity
Google sunset Gemini CLI on 2026-06-18; Antigravity CLI is its official successor (already a first-class GSD runtime). Remove the gemini runtime from the enum (16->15), aliases, labels, config-home fragment, install path, converters (convertClaudeToGemini{Markdown,Toml,Agent}, convertSlashCommandsToGeminiMentions), capability descriptor, gemini-extension.json, RULESET.GEMINI.*, and the interactive menu (renumbered, no gap).
--gemini now prints an explicit deprecation notice citing the 2026-06-18 sunset and redirects to --antigravity (no silent alias, per the issue's Hyrum's-Law rejection). Antigravity is preserved throughout: its GEMINI.md contextFileName, .gemini/antigravity config home, the shared convertGeminiToolName/claudeToGeminiTools tool vocabulary, and the 'gemini' hookEvents dialect it declares. GEMINI.md retargeted as Antigravity's context file.

* chore(#1928): drop Gemini CLI from issue templates (review nit)
Removes the sunset Gemini CLI runtime from the two GitHub issue-template
runtime lists that the removal PR missed, per @davesienkowski's review nit:
- feature_request.yml: 'Applicable runtimes' checkbox (a user could otherwise
request a feature for a runtime GSD no longer supports)
- bug_report.yml: 'Runtime' dropdown + the stale ~/.gemini/settings.json
retrieval-help line
Leaves the post-removal templates fully consistent with the Antigravity redirect.
