Description

The display name Ruby can be confusing and doesn't indicate that this is an extension pack and in fact includes no Ruby related features in its own code (everything comes from the extensions included in the pack).

We tried renaming it https://github.com/Shopify/vscode-shopify-ruby/pull/565, but unfortunately the marketplace won't accept a display name change and publishing fails.

We need to investigate if there's a process for renaming the extension. Maybe we have to file a request somewhere.

Research direction

Start by reviewing pull request #565 and the reported Marketplace publishing failure. Investigate the process for changing an extension display name, including whether a request must be filed elsewhere. Done means documenting an accepted rename path or the required request and confirming how publishing can proceed.
