Closes #94.

Adds a vscode-extension registry backed by the Open VSX REST API.

Behaviour

• Default URL https://open-vsx.org, as agreed in Add Open VSX registry for vscode-extension #94, so a PURL without repository_url resolves to Open VSX. A self-hosted Open VSX server works as the base URL.
• Names are publisher/name (the PURL's namespace and name) or VS Code's publisher.name. Responses for another extension are rejected; names match without case.
• FetchPackage reads GET /api/{namespace}/{name}: description, homepage, repository, license, latest version, tags as keywords (VS Code's own __ext_* style markers dropped), and the user who published the latest version as maintainer.
• FetchVersions pages through GET /api/v2/-/query?namespaceName=…&extensionName=…&includeAllVersions=true. Each entry there is one build: one version for one target platform. Builds are grouped by version, newest first:
  • one artifact per build, with platform, signature (the .sigzip) and sha256 (the checksum file URL) in its metadata
  • PublishedAt is the earliest build's timestamp
  • pre_release in the version metadata
  • a build without a version, with a bad timestamp, or listed twice is an error; an empty page ends the listing even if totalSize says more, and the listing stops with ErrTooManyPages at core.MaxPages
• FetchVersion uses the same query with extensionVersion, so it returns every platform build of that version in one request.
• FetchDependencies reads GET /api/{namespace}/{name}/{version} and lists both dependencies and bundledExtensions, since VS Code installs both.
• A 404, or a query with no builds, maps to ErrNotFound.

URLs

• Registry and Documentation: {base}/extension/{namespace}/{name}[/{version}].
• Download: the universal build, {base}/api/{namespace}/{name}/{version}/file/{namespace}.{name}-{version}.vsix. A version built only for specific platforms has no universal file (Open VSX answers 404); its builds are the artifacts above, at /api/{namespace}/{name}/{targetPlatform}/{version}/file/….
• PURL always carries repository_url, since the purl spec makes the Visual Studio Marketplace the default for this type.

Platform qualifier

fetch.Resolver picks a build by the platform PURL qualifier:

• platform is now a selection qualifier, so a request carrying it reads the version's artifacts instead of taking the universal URL.
• A build for the requested platform wins. Without one, a universal build matches any platform.
• A platform with no build and no universal one gives ErrNoMatchingArtifact.
• A registry that lists no artifacts, or doesn't list the version under the requested number, keeps resolving to its built URL when a selection qualifier is given. Without that, a pkg:gem/…?platform=java PURL would have stopped resolving: RubyGems versions carry no artifacts, and a platform build is listed as <number>-<platform>.

The FetchXFromPURL helpers still don't pass qualifiers on.

Integrity stays empty: Open VSX publishes the SHA-256 only as a separate file, which would cost one request per build.

Tests

internal/vscodeextension/vscodeextension_test.go, against an HTTP test server with responses modelled on open-vsx.org:

• package metadata from both name forms, case-insensitive match, another extension's response rejected, 404
• versions across two pages with platform builds grouped, the earliest timestamp, newest-first order, and the bad-entry cases
• a single version with all its platform builds, and a missing one
• dependencies and bundled extensions, 404
• invalid names and versions make no request; path segments are escaped
• URL builders for open-vsx.org and a self-hosted base

fetch/vscode_resolver_test.go resolves a platform-only version, a universal-only version and a version with both through the resolver, and checks the built-URL fallback.

registries_test.go lists the new ecosystem and its default URL.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features
  • Added support for looking up VS Code extensions from Open VSX, including package details, versions, platform-specific builds, downloads, dependencies, and maintainers.
  • Added VS Code extensions to the supported ecosystem list, with Open VSX as the default registry.
  • Added platform-aware artifact selection, preferring platform-specific builds before universal builds. When artifact metadata is unavailable, downloads can use the registry-provided URL.
• Documentation
  • Documented VS Code extension identifiers, platform qualifiers, artifact resolution, dependencies, and maintainer information.

Walkthrough

Adds an Open VSX registry for VS Code extensions. It provides package, version, dependency, maintainer, and URL data. The resolver supports platform-qualified artifacts, universal platform fallbacks, and registry-built download URLs.

Changes: VS Code Extension Registry

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Extension lookup and package metadata internal/vscodeextension/vscodeextension.go, internal/vscodeextension/vscodeextension_test.go	Adds registry initialization, extension-name and version validation, Open VSX metadata retrieval, and package and maintainer mapping. Tests cover metadata, name formats, invalid inputs, and not-found responses.
Builds, versions, and dependencies internal/vscodeextension/vscodeextension.go, internal/vscodeextension/vscodeextension_test.go	Adds paginated build queries, version grouping, platform artifact metadata, version lookup, and dependency retrieval. Tests cover pagination, build validation, versions, and dependencies.
URLs and ecosystem integration internal/vscodeextension/vscodeextension.go, all/all.go, registries_test.go, README.md	Adds registry, download, documentation, and PURL URL generation. Registers vscode-extension, updates ecosystem and default-URL tests, and documents Open VSX behavior and a PURL example.
Platform artifact resolution fetch/resolver.go, fetch/vscode_resolver_test.go, README.md	Adds platform matching, with exact-platform artifacts preferred over universal artifacts. When selection qualifiers are present and artifact metadata has no download URL, resolution tries the registry-built URL. Tests cover these resolution cases.

Merge Risk: Minimal · up to 8d565

The Open VSX registry and platform-aware resolution look ready to merge. The earlier pagination and RubyGems platform-only concerns appear to be addressed in the current head.

Security architecture risk: Moderate · up to 8d565

Two bounded security concerns remain: implicit registry selection can confuse Marketplace and Open VSX package identities, and qualified URL fallback can succeed without matching a requested integrity value. Neither establishes that malicious artifacts have been downloaded or executed.

Retained concerns

• Medium · security · inferred: Unqualified vscode-extension PURLs now select Open VSX despite their documented Marketplace meaning. Matching publisher and extension names verifies identity only within the selected registry, not across registries. Consumers importing Marketplace PURLs can consequently receive metadata, dependencies, and artifact references from another authority. Explicit repository_url on generated PURLs mitigates outbound ambiguity but does not protect incoming unqualified identities. Cross-registry publisher equivalence and an exploitable collision were not established.
• Medium · security · inferred: The new qualified fallback can turn missing-version or missing-download metadata into success while discarding integrity information. It constructs an artifact with empty Integrity, so even a supplied ResolveOptions.Integrity is not matched. RubyGems can publish a version digest without artifact URLs, making this a concrete affected adapter. For pre-existing selection qualifiers the base returned an error instead. Consumers relying on successful qualified resolution as an integrity-selection decision can now proceed without that decision; downstream checksum enforcement was not observable.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

• inferred — Source-identity ambiguity is bounded to vscode-extension inputs lacking an explicit registry. Integrity fallback reaches registered ecosystems whose URL builder returns a URL and whose qualified metadata resolution yields one of the fallback errors. The inspected paths return metadata or URLs; they do not themselves install or execute extensions.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

• inferred — If the same identifier has different publisher control across Marketplace and Open VSX, an incoming unqualified Marketplace PURL can associate Open VSX-controlled metadata and dependencies with the requested identity. Documentation and explicit source qualifiers on generated PURLs reduce ambiguity but do not enforce opt-in on incoming PURLs. No exploitable namespace collision was verified.
• inferred — A qualified caller supplying an expected digest can receive successful resolution with empty integrity after the fallback errors. If the caller treats resolution success as sufficient artifact matching and performs no independent byte verification, the requested digest does not constrain the eventual artifact. Actual downstream reliance was not established.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

• observed — The new platform value does not enter the built-URL helper, which receives only name and version. Registry-supplied artifact URLs still require HTTPS and address-policy checks. Unsafe URLs and listed-artifact mismatches do not trigger built-URL fallback. The default downloader also checks resolved addresses before dialing them.

Hardening Proposals

• proposed — Preserve source and integrity decisions explicitly: require an Open VSX source selection for externally supplied PURLs whose default authority is Marketplace, and prevent fallback success from silently satisfying a requested digest when no matching integrity is available.

Explanation

The title "Add an Open VSX registry for vscode-extension" names the main change. The PR adds a new Open VSX registry client for the vscode-extension ecosystem, and the changeset includes the registry implementation, its tests, resolver updates, and registration. The title is specific and concise, and it matches the PR objectives and linked issue #94.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

The only active direct target is #94. Its coding requirements are: (1) a registry for the vscode-extension PURL type, (2) use of the Open VSX REST API, (3) per-version publish timestamps for the proxy cooldown, and (4) handling of platform-specific builds that match the PURL platform qualifier.

[#94 requirements 1-3] internal/vscodeextension/vscodeextension.go adds the registry with default URL https://open-vsx.org and calls the Open VSX REST API (/api/{namespace}/{name}, /api/v2/-/query). FetchVersions sets PublishedAt to the earliest build timestamp for each version. The tests in internal/vscodeextension/vscodeextension_test.go cover these paths.

[#94 requirement 4] At the reviewed head, fetch/resolver.go adds platform to selectionQualifiers. selectArtifact first runs a pass that matches a build for the requested platform. It then runs a second pass that accepts a universal build, so a platform-specific build wins over a universal one. When no build matches, it returns ErrNoMatchingArtifact. fetch/vscode_resolver_test.go covers platform-only, universal-only, both-build, and no-match cases.

The current PR description says platform is a selection qualifier. This matches the code, so the description is not stale on this point. The change since the previous review (head 8d56558) does not alter these requirements.

All coding requirements of #94 have supporting code at the reviewed head. No unmet coding requirement remains. Open limits: the FetchXFromPURL helpers do not pass qualifiers, as the PR description states. Qualifier matching therefore applies on the resolver path only.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The internal/vscodeextension/* files, the all/all.go registration, registries_test.go, and the vscode-extension README rows connect directly to #94.

The fetch/resolver.go changes are generic. They add platform to the selection qualifiers, add a universal-build second pass, and fall back to URLs().Download when a selection qualifier is present and the registry lists no artifacts (ErrNoDownloadURL) or reports ErrNotFound. The PR description states the fallback keeps the prior built-URL behavior for PURLs such as pkg:gem/jruby-launcher@1.1.2?platform=java, which the new platform qualifier would otherwise break. Resolver tests TestResolveSelectionQualifierWithoutArtifactsUsesTheBuiltURL and TestResolveSelectionQualifierWithoutMatchDoesNotUseTheBuiltURL cover this path. The change supports #94 requirement 4 and prevents a regression in existing ecosystems. It is therefore related work.

The fallback applies to all ecosystems, so it has a side effect. A qualified PURL whose version returns ErrNotFound now resolves to the built URL without a metadata check. The PR description accepts this trade-off, and it is not a demonstrated unrelated change.

The README change restructures the supported-ecosystem table and moves the APM row. The evidence does not show this change is intentional or related to #94. The previous review raised the same point. It is documentation only and does not justify a FAIL. A reviewer should confirm the APM row move is intended.

No demonstrated unrelated code change appears in the evidence.

Bound the number of query pages.

If a self-hosted server keeps returning a nonempty page and reports an inflated totalSize, this loop keeps requesting pages until the context ends or the reported count is reached. An ordinary context.Background() call has no such deadline. Enforce core.MaxPages and return core.ErrTooManyPages when the listing does not end. Those values define the repository’s existing pagination limit. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Thanks for this. The adapter matches what open-vsx.org returns: offset counts items, extensionVersion returns every platform build, and the query matches names without case. Two changes before it goes in.

Cap the pagination in query (internal/vscodeextension/vscodeextension.go:221-237). The loop ends only on an empty page or once len(builds) >= totalSize. A self-hosted server that ignores offset and reports a large totalSize keeps the client requesting and appending, because the duplicate-build check runs in versions() after the loop has finished. Count pages and return an error wrapping core.ErrTooManyPages at core.MaxPages, the way githubactions.go:186, golang.go:218 and swift.go:73 do, with a test like the one at githubactions_test.go:354.

Make the platform qualifier select a build through fetch.Resolver. Two things stop that at the moment:

• URLs().Download always returns the universal URL, so ResolveWithOptions (fetch/resolver.go:158) returns it without reading the version's artifacts. For a version built only for specific platforms that URL is a 404, for example https://open-vsx.org/api/muhammad-sammy/csharp/2.160.9-g01198ecc1f/file/muhammad-sammy.csharp-2.160.9-g01198ecc1f.vsix.
• The artifact metadata key is target_platform. The resolver matches PURL qualifiers against artifact metadata of the same name, and platform isn't in selectionQualifiers (fetch/resolver.go:123), so ?platform=linux-x64 has no effect.

Please:

• rename the artifact metadata key from target_platform to platform, in the code, README and tests
• add "platform" to selectionQualifiers, so a request carrying it goes through the metadata path
• treat an artifact whose platform is universal as matching any requested platform, so an extension with only a universal build still resolves when the PURL names a platform. A platform-specific build should win over the universal one when a version has both.
• add resolver tests for the three cases: a platform-only version with a matching qualifier, a universal-only version with a qualifier, and a version that has both

[simonchrz]

Done in 92e2b79.

Pagination. query counts pages and returns an error wrapping core.ErrTooManyPages at core.MaxPages. TestFetchVersionsStopsAtMaxPages runs it against a server that ignores offset and reports a large totalSize.

Platform.

• The artifact metadata key is platform in the code, README and tests.
• platform is in selectionQualifiers.
• A universal artifact matches any requested platform, on a second pass, so a build for the platform wins when a version has both.
• fetch/vscode_resolver_test.go resolves the three cases through the Open VSX adapter, plus a platform with no build (ErrNoMatchingArtifact).

One thing I added that you didn't ask for: with platform as a selection qualifier, a PURL such as pkg:gem/jruby-launcher@1.1.2?platform=java skips the URL builder and reaches resolveFromMetadata, where RubyGems versions have no artifacts and no download_url, so it ended in ErrNoDownloadURL. ResolveWithOptions now falls back to URLs().Download in that case, which is what such a PURL resolved to before. It costs one FetchVersions call first. If you'd rather handle that another way, I'll take it out.
