VS Code extension cannot be installed as release version — only pre-release available #101

Problem

When users try to install the AgentOps Skills for GitHub Copilot extension (agentopstoolkit.agentops-toolkit) from the VS Code Marketplace, they receive the following error:

Can't install release version of 'AgentOps Skills for GitHub Copilot' extension because it has no release version.

The only option presented is Install Pre-Release, which is not ideal for users expecting a stable release.

Expected Behavior

Users should be able to install the extension as a standard (non-pre-release) version via the Marketplace Install button.

Root Cause (likely)

The extension has only been published with pre-release flags. The package.json currently has version 0.1.7 (pre-1.0), and the Marketplace shows version 0.1.8. A release version needs to be explicitly published without the --pre-release flag for VS Code to recognize it as a stable release.

Suggested Fix

1. Publish a release version of the extension using vsce publish without the --pre-release flag.
2. Alternatively, ensure the CI/CD pipeline publishes both a pre-release and a release version so users can choose.
3. Review the VS Code pre-release extension docs to ensure the versioning strategy is correct.
