Vest for VS Code

This extension adds Vest language support to Visual Studio Code:

• .vest language registration
• syntax highlighting
• comment and bracket configuration
• the Vest language server (vest_lsp) for diagnostics, hover, go-to-definition, references, rename, and semantic tokens

Packaging

From the repository root:

node extensions/vest-vscode/scripts/package-vsix.mjs

That builds vest_lsp, bundles it into a platform-specific VSIX, and writes the result to extensions/vest-vscode/dist/.

For release publishing, the workflow builds a universal VSIX instead. Published installs download the matching vest_lsp binary from the corresponding GitHub release for this extension version.
