Envigored Ultra is a curated VS Code extension pack designed to provide a comprehensive, cross-platform development environment for polyglot programmers. It bundles essential extensions to streamline coding workflows across Windows, macOS, and Linux. And it includes advanced governance features to help users manage and audit their installed extensions effectively as this extension pack evolves.

Orphaned Extension Audit
Launch the command palette (Ctrl+Shift+P / Cmd+Shift+P) and run Envigored Ultra: Audit Orphaned Extensions whenever you upgrade the pack.
The audit compares your locally installed extensions with the latest pack manifest, highlights entries that are no longer curated, and lets you uninstall individual or all orphans in-place.
Choose Export orphan report to generate a JSON summary (and keep/sync it via the "Reveal in File Explorer" or "Copy Path" prompts). The pack also maintains a running provenance ledger at install-ledger.json inside the extension's global storage folder for future reference.
Living Extension Governance
Provenance ledger – Every Envigored-managed install is recorded with extension id, version, manifest release, and timestamps. The ledger is persisted in VS Code globalState and mirrored to install-ledger.json, giving you a human-readable audit trail you can version, diff, or hand to teammates.
Retired extension catalog – When the pack drops an id (e.g., spmeesseman.vscode-taskexplorer), it lands in extension/retired-extensions.json. During activation the runtime hydrates ledger entries for those ids, so even extensions installed before this release are recognized and surfaced as orphans.
Actionable insights – The audit command provides selective uninstall, bulk uninstall, and JSON export flows plus automatic logging in the "Envigored Ultra Pack Manager" output channel. You always know what changed, when, and how to revert it.
Shareable reports – Each audit export writes orphan-report-<timestamp>.json into the extension's global storage path. Use the built-in "Reveal" or "Copy Path" actions to move it into tickets, runbooks, or compliance archives.
Always-on reconciliation – Background listeners keep the ledger in sync whenever you manually add/remove extensions, ensuring the next audit reflects reality without manual bookkeeping.
Persistent nudges – On every load (and especially after upgrades), Envigored Ultra checks for orphaned installs and surfaces a notification with "Review" and "Dismiss" options. Unless you dismiss, the reminder keeps appearing until the ledger reports a clean state.
Guided reloads – Once you uninstall orphans through the command, the pack prompts you to reload VS Code so the environment comes back up with the curated set only.
