chore(package): shrink the packaged VSIX from ~29 MB to ~14 MB - #1152
Merged
Conversation
Exclude artifacts that are never loaded at runtime, roughly halving the VSIX (3825 -> 2503 files, ~29 MB -> ~14 MB). Rework `.vscodeignore` around how `vsce` collects files: it already ships only production dependencies, and it splits patterns into an ignore and a negate (`!`) list where the negate always wins regardless of order. A broad `!node_modules/`/`!syntaxes/` therefore re-included the whole subtree and later ignores had no effect. Narrow the re-includes so `syntaxes/` ships only the registered grammar and `node_modules/` ships only the runtime file types (dropping bundled `.ts` sources, source maps, docs and linter/test config, plus the `syntaxes/tests` snapshot fixtures). Filter the Mermaid bundle in `tasks/copy-mermaid.mjs`: keep the ESM entry and its lazily loaded `.mjs` chunks, drop the TypeScript declarations, source maps (~51 MB alone) and unused UMD builds, taking `media/mermaid` from ~76 MB to ~15 MB.
