Phase 9 SOP for the AIDE offline IDE — a VS Code-class extension ecosystem: extension host (separate Node process spawned by the daemon), VS Code-compatible manifest + contribution registry, and an Open VSX-compatible offline marketplace (registry URL config, vsix cache, sha256-verified installs, deny-by-default sandbox). Use whenever wiring extension install/activate/execute/uninstall, building the marketplace UI, parsing package.json manifests, or debugging extension-host failures.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Phase 9 — Extension Host + Open VSX Offline Marketplace (SOP) Goal: AIDE must rival VS Code. The extension ecosystem is the decisive lever. Strategy = **FULL VS Code compatibility** (runtime-installable extensions, VS Code extension API shape, `package.json` manifests, `contributes` + `activationEvents`) with **Open VSX as the marketplace** and **offline-first** (registry mirror / local vsix cache). Theia-proven: this exact model is how Eclipse Theia runs VS Code extensions — dedicated extension-host process, runtime install, Open VSX default registry, `VSX_REGISTRY_URL` override. ## 1. Research base (source -> principle -> applied as) | Source | Principle | Applied as | |---|---|---| | Theia docs — Extensions | VS Code extensions are runtime-installable, run in a **dedicated process per frontend connection**, against a **restricted API**; Theia extensions are compile-time with full DI | AIDE extension host = separate Node process spawned by the daemon, long-lived, per-workspace; extensions run inside it with a capped API surface, never in the daemon or frontend | …

How to install
mdr add anonymousnomad/aide-sovereign-workbench/aide-phase9-extension-host@sha256:b37c988519184073The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260823.df7cbde, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
