Extension installation fails in Code-OSS (Solus): Cannot load @vscode/vsce-sign module

[kuscadev]

VS Code version: Code 1.101.0 (OSS build via eopkg – Solus)
OS version: Linux x64 6.14.6-319.current
Locale: en-US

Problem description

Every time I try to install any extension, I get the following error in the logs:

[error] Could not load vsce-sign module
[error] Cannot find package '@vscode/vsce-sign' imported from /usr/share/vscode/resources/app/out/vs/code/electron-utility/sharedProcess/sharedProcessMain.js
[error] Extension signature verification was not executed.
[error] Error while installing the extension ritwickdey.liveserver Signature verification was not executed.

This happens for all extensions, not just Live Server. The system refuses to proceed with the installation.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Install VSCode via eopkg from official Solus repository
2. Open the editor
3. Try installing any extension from the Marketplace (e.g., ritwickdey.liveserver)
4. Watch the shared process logs

Additional Notes:

• It seems like the @vscode/vsce-sign module is either missing or broken in this build.
• I have tested this on a fresh Solus installation with no modifications.
• There are other users with similar issues but no active fix or documentation.

Let me know if you need additional logs, screenshots or test outputs.
