Contributor guide
Research direction
Start with the Tests / Run VS Code extension unit tests (Windows) job and its Install dependencies, Package VSIX, and assertion steps. Check why extension/out/aspire-extension.vsix is not produced or found; done means both VSIX packaging assertions pass and the E2E VSIX artifacts are uploaded for download.
