Summary

Enables the in-pod data bridge to serve arbitrary environment variables to consumers that do not know the key names in advance, as part of the end-to-end effort to let external systems pass arbitrary env vars into a session.

  • New no-arg VS Code command dataBridge.getEnvState returning { injected: boolean, environment: Record<string, string> }. Consumers poll until injected is true, then read every key from environment.
  • Injection is now atomic (DataStorage.setAll): the full payload is written to memory, persisted once, and only then is injected set. This closes a race where a polling consumer could observe injected: true with a partially written map.
  • Restored non-empty persisted state is treated as already injected, so a pod/extension restart does not stall consumers.
  • The existing dataBridge.getEnv (fetch by explicit key list) is unchanged.

Test plan

  • Added unit tests in src/test/extension.test.ts: not-injected before injection; arbitrary keys stored and returned as ready after inject; getEnv still returns only requested keys.
  • tsc --noEmit and eslint pass. (The electron vscode-test runner was not exercised in the authoring environment.)

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added a command to retrieve the complete injected environment and its readiness status.
    • Environment values can now be injected and saved atomically.
    • Expanded environment retrieval to support arbitrary variable names.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Restored environments now correctly report their injection status.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for environment injection, readiness tracking, persistence, and selective retrieval.

Add a no-arg `dataBridge.getEnvState` command returning
`{ injected, environment }` so consumers can fetch the full injected
environment (including arbitrary keys they do not know by name) and detect
when injection has completed. Make injection atomic (`setAll`): the whole
map is persisted once and only then is `injected` set, so a polling consumer
never observes a ready flag with a partially written map. Restored non-empty
persisted state is treated as already injected to avoid stalls on restart.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds full environment-state retrieval with an injection readiness flag. Environment updates persist through one setAll operation. The new VS Code command, documentation, and service tests cover the state flow.

Changes

Environment state flow

Layer / File(s) Summary
Persisted injection state
src/service/storage.ts
DataStorage tracks injection readiness, restores readiness from non-empty persisted data, exposes environment snapshots, and persists complete updates before setting the injected flag.
Service injection and state API
src/service/data.ts
DataService.inject uses one setAll operation. getEnvState returns the readiness flag and complete environment.
Command exposure and service tests
package.json, src/service/commands.ts, src/test/extension.test.ts, README.md
The extension registers and documents dataBridge.getEnvState. Tests validate initial state, arbitrary injection, and selective variable retrieval.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to ebfd2

The new command can expose all persisted environment variables, including secrets, to any extension that invokes it, while failed injections may leave values visible and later persist them unexpectedly. These are concrete security and correctness risks that should be fixed before merging.

Visual Studio Code Extension API commands.registerCommand executeCommand other extensions authorization caller identity

💡 Result:

The Visual Studio Code Extension API does not provide a built-in mechanism to identify the caller of a command registered via vscode.commands.registerCommand [1][2]. When a command handler is invoked—whether via executeCommand, the Command Palette, a keybinding, or a UI gesture—the handler function receives only the arguments passed during the execution call [1][2]. The API does not automatically inject metadata regarding the identity, extension ID, or source of the caller [2]. If you need to establish a secure or authenticated interaction between extensions, consider the following patterns: 1. Use Extension Exports: Instead of relying on commands for inter-extension communication, define a formal public API by exporting an object from your extension's activate function [3]. Other extensions can then access this via vscode.extensions.getExtension('extension.id').exports [3]. This approach allows for direct, type-safe method calls rather than relying on loosely coupled command IDs [3]. 2. Pass Identity in Arguments: If you must use commands, you can require callers to pass an identity token or a callback object as part of the command arguments [2]. However, note that this relies on the caller voluntarily providing this information and is not a secure authorization mechanism, as any extension can craft the required arguments [2]. 3. Command Registration Constraints: The VS Code command registry does not implement authorization checks natively [4]. All registered commands are essentially global; once registered, any extension or UI component can execute them [1][2]. If you need to restrict execution, you must implement those checks logic-side within your command handler by verifying the context or state, though you cannot reliably restrict who is allowed to call the command from the API layer [1][2]. In summary, there is no technical "caller identity" field in the command execution flow, and you should design your extension's cross-extension communication based on the assumption that any command is publicly discoverable and callable by other extensions [1][2].

Do not expose the complete environment through a global command.

getEnvState returns all persisted environment values, including ARTEMIS_TOKEN. VS Code commands provide no caller identity or authorization, and other extensions can invoke registered commands with vscode.commands.executeCommand. Expose only non-sensitive values through this command and move secret access to a deliberately scoped extension API.

Do not retain an environment update after persistence fails.

Line 61 mutates the live map before saveAll completes. If saveAll rejects, DataService.inject reports failure, but getEnvState can still return the failed values. A later successful injection persists those stale values with the new payload.

Build a candidate map, persist that map, and replace this.storage.environment only after persistence succeeds.
