CodeMan iPad Files extension

This web extension registers an ipad:// FileSystemProvider and stores a working mirror in IndexedDB. CodeMan's native WKWebView bridge populates that mirror after the user selects a folder from Files and forwards writes back to the security-scoped folder URL.

Install this extension in the connected VS Code Server before testing the virtual workspace. For code-server, the preferred gallery is Open VSX. Once the extension is published there, install it from the Extensions view or run:

code-server --install-extension mjfrey-codeman.codeman-ipad-files

If the server has no extension gallery configured, add this to the environment used to start code-server and restart it:

export EXTENSIONS_GALLERY='{"serviceUrl":"https://open-vsx.org/vscode/gallery","itemUrl":"https://open-vsx.org/vscode/item"}'
code-server

As a fallback, use Extensions: Install from VSIX with the packaged codeman-ipad-files-0.1.1.vsix file, or run code-server --install-extension with its path. Then use either:

• the CodeMan Files toolbar button, or
• CodeMan: Open iPad Folder from the VS Code command palette.

The prototype intentionally skips hidden files, symlinks, common dependency folders, and files larger than 8 MB. It is intended to evaluate folder browsing and editing latency before adding file watching, binary previews, and full workspace tooling.
