LineLoom v1.1.0 — Sidebar Preview

GitHub pre-release · Publisher: SanskarCodes · MIT · VS Code 1.96+

This is an opt-in test build of the next LineLoom release. The previously published
v1.0.0 remains the recommended stable channel on the Visual Studio Marketplace
and Open VSX. This release does not automatically publish to either registry.

New in this preview

  • Native VS Code Activity Bar Control Center: discoverable LineLoom sidebar built
    with a native Tree View instead of a webview.
  • Completion controls: enable/disable suggestions, pause automatic inference,
    trigger a manual suggestion and open the existing Quick Actions menu.
  • Model & language controls: view configured model and override counts and invoke
    the existing approved model/language selectors.
  • Privacy & connection display: see workspace trust and endpoint status by
    category. The sidebar never exposes the endpoint URL, editor source, prompts or
    file paths, and opening or refreshing it does not query Ollama.
  • Session activity: aggregate request/suggestion/failure counters and a
    shortcut to the existing privacy-preserving diagnostics.
  • Publisher settings fix: both Open Settings and the Setup Guide now target
    SanskarCodes.lineloom, not the old GitHub-owner-based identifier.
  • Additional unit, integration, manifest, VSIX icon packaging and documentation
    checks for the sidebar.

Download and install

Download LineLoom-1.1.0.vsix from this GitHub release's assets, then:

  1. Open Visual Studio Code → Extensions → … → Install from VSIX…
  2. Select the downloaded .vsix; do not double-click it in Windows Explorer
    (that may invoke Visual Studio's incompatible VSIX Installer).
  3. Restart/reload the extension host if prompted; use the new LineLoom Activity
    Bar icon, or LineLoom: Open Control Center in the Command Palette.
  4. Independently install and start Ollama and an appropriate local coding model;
    no model download occurs when LineLoom is installed or the sidebar opens.

For CLI installation: code --install-extension LineLoom-1.1.0.vsix.
The companion LineLoom-1.1.0.sha256 is a checksum for download verification.

Security and known limitations

  • Remote HTTPS endpoints remain off by default, requiring explicit opt-in
    and origin approval. Local loopback is the default.
  • Inline completions remain restricted by workspace trust, ignore rules,
    sensitive-file exclusions and active-editor checks.
  • No cross-file repository indexing and no built-in telemetry.
  • Tests with mocked Ollama, typechecking, lint, website verification, CI host
    checks and package-install smoke tests are not a substitute for real model
    acceptance, manual sidebar accessibility checks or CPU/GPU latency benchmarks.
  • Go, Java, C and C++ language support remains experimental.
  • Existing v1.0.0 stable packages at Visual Studio Marketplace and Open VSX
    remain independent of this GitHub-only preview. Do not claim these registries
    have v1.1.0 until their public listings verify it.
