None — release-pipeline fix (internal PR).

Problem

The VS Code extension is a private workspace package, so an extension-only release publishes nothing to npm and packages_published stays false — which meant the Publish VS Code extension job never ran for exactly the releases that only touch the extension. Extension 0.9.3 (the immer bundling fix from #140) is versioned but still unpublished for this reason.

What changed

The job now also runs when the merge is a release PR (ci: release packages commit), mirroring the existing condition on the native release job. The publish scripts already skip versions that exist in the marketplaces, so this stays a no-op for releases that did not touch the extension. A pythinker patch changeset rides along so the next release cycle exercises the new path and ships the extension.

Checklist

  • I have read the CONTRIBUTING document.
  • I have linked a related issue (internal release fix).
  • I have added tests that prove my feature works (workflow YAML validated; the release cycle itself is the exercising test).
  • Ran gen-changesets skill, or this PR needs no changeset.
  • Ran gen-docs skill, or this PR needs no doc update.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Improved release automation so the VS Code extension is published whenever packages are released or its version changes, helping updates reach users more consistently.
    • Extension releases are now better aligned with the regular package release cycle.
  • Chores

    • Scheduled pythinker for a patch release during each release cycle, ensuring eligible improvements can be delivered through routine updates.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The changeset schedules a pythinker patch release and specifies publication on every release cycle. The release workflow detects VS Code package version changes and publishes the extension when packages were published or the extension version changed.

Changes

Release-cycle publishing

Layer / File(s) Summary
Release metadata and workflow condition
.changeset/extension-release-on-cycle.md, .github/workflows/release.yml
The changeset adds patch-release metadata for pythinker. The workflow exposes extension_version_bumped, compares previous and current VS Code package versions, and publishes the extension when packages were published or the extension version changed. The publishing job now has read-only contents permission.
