Description
Hi there, hope you are all well!
The Garry's Mod addon was last updated through a PR at LLS-Addons on October 3rd 2024. That was version v0002. Since then some new versions have been published to our library repo, however at the time of writing I have yet to make a PR to merge them into LLS-Addons.
Despite not having had a PR (and thus no manual validation by @carsakiller) the newer versions show up and can be switched to:
I remember reading somewhere that the manual process of updating an addon through PR is a sort of security/sanity check. For that reason I don't believe this is intentional
Note that selecting the 'latest' version will still result in the LLS-Addons version to be chosen (for gmod: v0002)

Research direction
Start by reproducing the setVersion command with the Garry's Mod addon and trace how addon versions are discovered and selected in the VSCode extension. Check why releases newer than the LLS-Addons version become selectable without a pull request. Done means unmerged versions cannot be selected, while latest still resolves to the validated v0002 version.
