NexGen-Meta: Launchpad 🚀

Launchpad is the "Control Center" for VS Code extension developers. It simplifies the final steps of extension delivery—validating your package, managing deployment tokens, and shipping with a single click.

Features

🔬 Pre-flight Audit

Automatically scans your package.json and project structure for common publishing pitfalls:

• Missing icons (128x128px)
• Missing repository or source links
• Publisher ID Case-Sensitivity: Automatically warns if your publisher ID might be formatted incorrectly for the Marketplace.

🔑 Token Vault

Securely store and manage your Azure Personal Access Tokens (PATs) using VS Code's native SecretStorage. No more digging through the Azure DevOps portal every time you want to ship.

⛴️ One-Click Ship

Ship your extension updates without touching the terminal:

• Ship Patch: Automatically increments version and publishes.
• Integrated progress notifications and error reporting.

🛡️ Badge Generator

Automatically inserts professional Marketplace shields and badges (Version, Installs, Rating) into your README.md with a single click.
