Mechanical rename produced by scripts/msd-rename.cjs: gsd/Gsd/GSD -> msd/Msd/MSD
across contents and paths, upstream package/repo coordinates -> @golem15/msd-core
and golem15com/msd-core. Deep links into upstream history, sibling upstream
packages, the GSD-2 import feature, CHANGELOG.md and .changeset/ are kept as-is.
Hand edits on top: MSD block-letter banner and logos, LICENSE copyright line,
package/plugin identity, regenerated lockfile, install-tree fixtures, derived
registries and benchmark baseline; migration checksum baseline re-locked
(MSD keeps its own install state, so no install had applied the old sums);
sort-order and regex-escaped expectations in tests adjusted.
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.
