fix(vscode): Use single source of truth for project file consistency checks (.vscode, local.settings.json, host.json)

[andrew-eldridge]

Commit Type

• feature - New functionality
• fix - Bug fix
• refactor - Code restructuring without behavior change
• perf - Performance improvement
• docs - Documentation update
• test - Test-related changes
• chore - Maintenance/tooling

Risk Level

• Low - Minor changes, limited scope
• Medium - Moderate changes, some user impact
• High - Major changes, significant user/system impact

What & Why

Introduces new single source of truth for .vscode files (tasks.json, launch.json, settings.json, extensions.json). Previously there were multiple implementations of .vscode file generation and re-generation which mostly had the same behavior with some inconsistencies between implementations. Consolidating to simplify the code and prevent these from diverging again.

Impact of Change

• Users: Fixes some edge case bugs in .vscode file generation depending on project type
• Developers: Adds central source of truth for each .vscode file
• System: N/A

Test Plan

• Unit tests added/updated
• E2E tests added/updated
• Manual testing completed
• Tested in:

PR Review Results

Thank you for your submission! Here's detailed feedback on your PR title and body compliance:

✅ PR Title

• Current: fix(vscode): Use single source of truth for project file consistency checks (.vscode, local.settings.json, host.json)
• Issue: None — valid fix(scope): prefix and clearly descriptive.
• Recommendation: No change needed.

---

✅ Commit Type

• Exactly one box selected: fix - Bug fix.
• Matches the title prefix and the nature of the change (bug fixes in .vscode file generation).

---

✅ Risk Level

• Declared Medium in the body and risk:medium label — these agree with each other and with the advised estimate. This change touches extension-distribution code (apps/vs-code-designer) and consolidates project-file generation logic, which is squarely Medium per the rubric (moderate changes, some user impact; no security/auth/breaking-API surface that would make it High).

---

✅ What & Why

• Current: Describes introducing a single source of truth for .vscode files and consolidating divergent implementations.
• Issue: None — clear context on what changed and why.
• Recommendation: No change needed.

---

✅ Impact of Change

• All three audiences addressed (Users, Developers, System=N/A).
• Recommendation:
  • Users: Fixes edge-case bugs in .vscode generation by project type — good.
  • Developers: Central source of truth per .vscode file — good.
  • System: N/A is acceptable here.

---

✅ Test Plan

• Unit tests added/updated (confirmed extensively in the diff — generator-based tests, onboarding, upload/download app settings, etc.) plus manual testing. Passes CHECK TESTS.

---

⚠️ Contributors

• @andrew-eldridge listed. Nudge only: if any PMs/designers contributed, consider crediting them too. Does not block.

⚠️ Screenshots/Videos

• The diff is limited to apps/vs-code-designer extension/host logic and tests — no libs/designer-ui/src, libs/designer/src, or apps/vs-code-react visual UI components are touched. Screenshots are not required. Nudge only.

Pull request overview

This PR consolidates VS Code .vscode configuration generation (especially tasks.json) into a single generator implementation, and updates project-type modeling/detection so creation and regeneration paths share the same source of truth.

Changes:

• Introduces a canonical generateTasksJson() implementation and migrates existing tasks.json writers to use it.
• Renames WorkflowProjectType → ProjectPackageType and updates wizard context fields accordingly.
• Adds/updates project detection helpers and adjusts unit/integration tests + VS Code mocks to support the new flows.
