Context Hub (VS Code client)

Read-only VS Code GUI for Context Hub, version 0.1.0. This repository is the former packages/vscode workspace. It does not include @context-hub/runtime, a sibling packages/runtime workspace, or a bundled context-hubd.

Install the daemon before using the extension:

npm install -g @context-hub/runtime@next
context-hub daemon start
context-hub daemon status

The extension reads ~/.context-hub/service.json. Protocol and client dependencies are exact @context-hub/protocol@0.1.0-alpha.0 and @context-hub/client@0.1.0-alpha.0 from the npm registry.

Disconnected behaviour

Activation looks for a live service.json. If none exists, it runs context-hub daemon start from PATH. If the CLI is missing, the output channel and a warning show npm install -g @context-hub/runtime@next, and the client stays disconnected.

While disconnected:

• the status bar shows disconnected (or reconnecting after a drop)
• queries fail instead of reading a local snapshot
• Canvas / tree stay empty until the daemon publishes a descriptor
• closing VS Code never stops a running context-hubd

After the daemon returns, the client reconnects through service.json and replaces origin/token without a sibling-runtime fallback.

Marketplace publisher is context-hub. CI packages a prerelease VSIX and does not publish it.
