Cherry-pick of #312693 from
main.Summary
When VS Code is launched with
--transient, the Agents App now also runs in transient mode with its own dedicated temporary user data and extensions directories, created under the same temp parent folder.Changes
argv.ts(common + node): Add--agents-user-data-dirand--agents-extensions-dirCLI argscli.ts: In the--transientblock, createagents-data/andagents-extensions/subdirs alongside the existing temp dirs, pass them via the new args, and include them in the relaunch hint messagenativeHostMainService.ts: When launching the sibling Agents app (launchSiblingApp), forward the transient dirs as--user-data-dirand--extensions-dirso the Agents process also runs fully isolated in transient mode
