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,

  1. code --install-extension /path/to/valdi-vivaldi.vsix, as documented
  2. 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"

Screenshots

  • OS: Ubuntu 26.04
  • Valdi version: beta-0.0.3

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.
