Manual Release Checklist (0.1.0)

Goal: deterministic, repeatable release flow for VS Marketplace and Open VSX.

Roadmap context: release-roadmap.md

Preconditions

1. docs/release-feature-complete-checklist.md is PASS.
2. Publisher in package.json matches the VS Marketplace publisher.
3. Tokens exist and are valid:
   • VSCE_PAT
   • OVSX_PAT

Phase 1: Local Release Gate

Run in this exact order:

1. pnpm install --frozen-lockfile
2. pnpm compile
3. pnpm test:unit
4. pnpm test:integration
5. pnpm package:verify
6. pnpm package:vsix

Expected outputs:

1. All commands exit 0.
2. VSIX exists at dist/openclaw-config-vscode-0.1.0.vsix.
3. VSIX packaging includes only runtime assets (dist, schemas/live, snippets, docs metadata files).

Phase 2: Local Install Smoke (VSIX)

1. In VS Code run: Extensions: Install from VSIX....
2. Select dist/openclaw-config-vscode-0.1.0.vsix.
3. Execute quick smoke:
   • OpenClaw: New Config
   • OpenClaw: Show Schema Status
   • OpenClaw: Normalize Config
4. Confirm no runtime errors in Output > OpenClaw Config.

Phase 3: Publish to Stores

Publish exactly the same VSIX artifact to both stores.

1. VS Marketplace:
   • VSCE_PAT=... pnpm dlx @vscode/vsce publish --packagePath ./dist/openclaw-config-vscode-0.1.0.vsix --no-yarn --no-dependencies
2. Open VSX:
   • OVSX_PAT=... pnpm dlx ovsx publish ./dist/openclaw-config-vscode-0.1.0.vsix

Phase 4: Post-Publish Verification

1. Listing is visible in VS Marketplace.
2. Listing is visible in Open VSX.
3. Install succeeds from both stores.
4. Quick-start flow in README.md works on clean workspace.
