VS Code extension project that bundles norminette and adds:
document formatting aimed at common Norminette spacing and layout rules
diagnostics from bundled norminette
a status bar menu for running checks and editing extension options
Features
Format .c and .h files manually or automatically on save
Run norminette on the active file, including unsaved editor contents
Run norminette across the whole workspace
Toggle settings from a Quick Pick menu opened from the status bar
Configure the Python executable and optional -R compatibility rules
Toggle dangerous AST-based rewrites individually from settings or the status bar menu
Notes
The formatter focuses on layout issues: tabs, spacing, braces, returns, and basic declaration alignment.
Dangerous rewrites such as function-scope comment removal, single-body brace insertion, multi-instruction splitting, declaration splitting, declaration hoisting, and for to while conversion are individually configurable and default to Off.
Single-body brace insertion stays opt-in because it increases line count.
normFormatter.allowUnsafeTransforms remains as a legacy bundle switch for the other dangerous rewrites, but granular settings are preferred.
Python 3.10 or newer is required because the bundled norminette source uses that runtime.
