build(vscode): minify release bundles and allowlist the VSIX contents - #24
Merged
Conversation
Two build modes, selected through rslib's `--env-mode`: `build:local` / `watch:local` (`--env-mode dev`) keep readable output with source maps so breakpoints in `src/` bind in the dev host; plain `build` — what CI and the Release workflow run — minifies and emits no source maps. Previously every build shipped rslib's lightly-compressed default (1.4 MB `extension.js`); the release bundle is now 577 kB. `.vscodeignore` becomes an allowlist (`dist/**/*.js`, `dist/**/*.node`, icon, LICENSE, README, package.json), so source maps or anything else a local build leaves in `dist/` can never reach the VSIX. `cross-env` is dropped: the env mode travels as a CLI flag.

Summary
--env-mode:build:local/watch:local(--env-mode dev): readable output + source maps, so breakpoints insrc/bind in the dev host (the F5 playground task already useswatch:local).build(CI and the Release workflow): minified, no source maps.extension.jsgoes from 1.4 MB (rslib's lightly-compressed default) to 577 kB; the darwin-arm64 VSIX packs to ~546 KB..vscodeignoreis now an allowlist —dist/**/*.js,dist/**/*.node, icon, LICENSE, README, package.json — so source maps or anything else a local build leaves indist/never reach the VSIX. Verified: after abuild:local,vsce lslists no.map.cross-envdropped; the mode travels as a CLI flag instead of an ad-hoc env var.Related Links
