Command	Description
`DeadZone: Login`	Authenticate / re‑authenticate your DeadZone account.
`DeadZone: Fetch My Packages`	Refresh the list of packages you own.
`DeadZone: Open Package`	Download & open a selected package in your workspace.
`DeadZone: Open File`	Open a specific file from a package.
`DeadZone: Push Changes`	Push all local edits back to DeadZone.
`DeadZone: Save With Message`	Save the active file and push with a custom commit message.
`DeadZone: Refresh Definitions`	Force‑refresh the DeadZone API definitions.
`DeadZone: Refresh Package Stats`	Update download/rating statistics for current package.

If you see "Not authenticated" or 401 Unauthorized:
1. Run DeadZone: Login again.
2. If using cookie‑based login, make sure your cookie is valid.
3. To manually refresh, clear stored cookie in Settings → DeadZone and re‑login.

Cannot download/open package:
- Ensure you’re online and your network allows access to DeadZone’s API.
- Run DeadZone: Fetch My Packages to repopulate the list.
- Check the DeadZone Extension Debug output channel (View → Output) for errors.

If API types aren’t showing up:
- Run DeadZone: Refresh Definitions to re‑fetch and inject dzdefinitions.ts.
- Make sure each package folder has a jsconfig.json that includes "../dzdefinitions.ts".
- Reload window: ⌘R / Ctrl+R.

The extension downloads packages on‑demand. If you click a file before the package is downloaded, it will auto‑fetch the package first.
If it still fails, run DeadZone: Open Package then try DeadZone: Open File again.
