Description
Describe the bug
I'm following the document at https://github.com/Snapchat/Valdi/blob/main/docs/INSTALL.md#3-install-valdi-extensions
the document provide links to https://github.com/Snapchat/Valdi/releases/latest (now it's beta-0.0.3) but the vsix is only available to https://github.com/Snapchat/Valdi/releases/tag/beta-0.0.1
To Reproduce
I downloaded the vsix files and intalled them by 2 methods,
code --install-extension /path/to/valdi-vivaldi.vsix, as documented- in vscode, menu "install from vsix..."
Both seem to installed without error, but neither method worked, I can't find the extension in my "installed extensions"
valdi doctor still reports that the extensions are not installed (warning).
Expected behavior
Extensions should be listed in the "installed extensions"

Research direction
Start with docs/INSTALL.md section 3 and compare its latest-release link with the beta-0.0.1 VSIX assets and beta-0.0.3. Reproduce installation with code --install-extension and VS Code's install-from-VSIX flow, then check Installed Extensions and valdi doctor. Done means the documented extensions are available for the current release, appear as installed, and no warning remains.
