Warden provides guided VS Code workflows for provisioning, auditing, freezing, stripping, snapshotting, restoring, and comparing Salesforce users. All eight commands run in the extension host through @syntax-syllogism/warden-core.
Requirements
Authenticate an org with sf org login web before running a command. The Salesforce CLI is needed for login; the Warden CLI plugin is not required. When no authenticated org is found, the extension offers a terminal shortcut for login.
Features
Command Palette actions and a Warden sidebar for Provision, Access, Diff, Freeze, Unfreeze, Strip, Snapshot, and Restore.
Prompts based on core option schemas and UI hints, including related records, CSV input format and list delimiter, and the record-type access type.
A rendered plan preview and modal confirmation before every write. Closing the confirmation applies nothing.
Cancellable progress notifications, human results in the Warden output channel, and optional workspace-relative .csv or JSON output files.
JSON validation for persona, users, and related-catalog definitions. When a filename does not match an association pattern, set $schema to the corresponding core schema ID:
Related catalog: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Syntax-Syllogism/warden-core/release/schemas/related-catalog.schema.json
warden.defaultTargetOrg sets the initial org picker value. Last-used input values are stored per command and option key.
Development
npm ci --ignore-scripts
npm run compile
xvfb-run -a npm run test
npm run package:vsix
When warden-core descriptors change, pin the new exact version and run npm run sync:contributes. See the documentation index for implementation details.
