From 19093972d0a7db42c0f8a820783c1709421ddc43 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Copilot Date: Tue, 14 Jul 2026 19:42:50 +0300 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] feat(init): default VS Code chat sessions to Squad MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit - Add applyVscodeDefaultMode() to packages/squad-cli/src/cli/core/init.ts using jsonc-parser (modify/applyEdits) for JSONC-safe, comment-preserving edits - Create .vscode/settings.json with chat.newSession.defaultMode: Squad if absent - Add key to existing settings.json; preserve existing value if key already set - Add includeVscodeDefault?: boolean to RunInitOptions interface - Wire --no-vscode-default flag in cli-entry.ts (matches existing --no- pattern) - Add --no-vscode-default to squad init --help output - Add jsonc-parser ^3.3.1 as direct dependency of @bradygaster/squad-cli - Add test/init-vscode-settings.test.ts with 7 focused test cases - Update docs/features/vscode.md and docs/reference/cli.md - Add .changeset/init-vscode-default.md (minor bump) Note: GitHub issue creation was blocked by Enterprise Managed User (EMU) restriction on the tamirdresher_microsoft account — cannot create issues/PRs on external bradygaster/squad repo via the GitHub API or gh CLI. PR is opened without a linked issue number.
