Preview search now includes fenced code and phrases split across inline formatting, preserves reading position and Contents focus, and provides accessible diagram controls. Broad searches explicitly cap highlights at 1,000 to keep large documents responsive. Mermaid connectors and exported page colors retain readable contrast.

HTML/PDF export waits for a completed snapshot of the requested document, including cold starts, and fails clearly on stale or missing renders. Authored image metadata cannot cross local-file trust boundaries; downloads are bounded and standalone exports preserve offline defaults.

Release 0.5.0 also updates rendering/validation dependencies, repairs the npm lockfile and strict types, replaces fixture-only checks with real VS Code journeys, reduces the installed package, and adds CI-gated publication of the same verified VSIX to GitHub, Marketplace, and Open VSX.

Validation:

  • Clean npm ci; lint, strict TypeScript, 149 unit tests, production build and VSIX content inspection pass.
  • Eight application journeys passed on current VS Code and minimum 1.90.0; final contrast/export and native-window pointer changes passed focused checks on both. Three packaged-VSIX smoke tests verify preview, standalone HTML and cold PDF export. The final IME completion and pending-debounce regression passes on both VS Code versions.
  • Production npm audit reports zero advisories. Three moderate development entries share one UUID advisory affecting APIs unused by the publishing dependency; rationale is recorded in CONTRIBUTING.md.
  • Independent source/release review completed; both CodeRabbit findings are fixed and resolved, including credential removal from all CI/release checkouts. The full cross-platform CI and Linux stable/minimum E2E jobs must pass on this head before merge.

Publishing uses repository secrets VSCE_PAT and OVSX_PAT. Missing credentials fail only the affected registry job explicitly, allowing recovery using the canonical GitHub release artifact.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Search now finds text across formatting, supports keyboard navigation and reports when results exceed the 1,000-match limit.
    • Mermaid diagrams have improved theme-aware colours and keyboard controls. The Contents list retains its focus and scroll position when refreshed.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Preview updates better preserve reading position, while changes to another document reset it.
    • HTML and PDF exports use a completed preview of the current document. Image handling is more restricted, and exports block remote images and scripts.
    • Heading navigation respects reduced-motion preferences, and preview controls have improved accessibility.

Walkthrough

Changes

Version 0.5.0 updates preview search, navigation, diagram controls and HTML/PDF exports. It adds image access and download limits, render-matched export snapshots, E2E coverage, npm build checks, CI workflows and automated publishing to two registries.

Preview rendering and export

Layer / File(s) Summary
Render-matched export flow
src/extension/messaging/*, src/extension/preview/PreviewPanel.ts, src/webview-ui/index.ts, test/unit/previewPanel.test.ts
Export requests identify the document and render. The extension waits for webview readiness and a matching snapshot. The webview queues render updates and reports errors when the requested render is unavailable.
Image handling and standalone export
src/extension/preview/PreviewPanel.ts, src/extension/preview/markdown/markdownPipeline.ts, src/extension/preview/htmlImageTags.ts, test/unit/markdownPipeline.test.ts, test/unit/previewPanel.test.ts, README.md
Local image access and embedding validate allowed roots and real paths. Remote downloads enforce size and timeout limits. Authored data-omv-* image attributes are removed, and standalone exports use a restrictive CSP.
Search, navigation and diagrams
src/webview-ui/app/*, src/webview-ui/index.ts, src/webview-ui/assets/styles.css, src/webview-ui/assets/*.d.ts, src/types/markdown-plugins.d.ts, README.md
Search spans formatted text, supports keyboard navigation and caps results at 1,000. Rendering updates preserve reading position and Contents-list focus. Diagram and image controls gain keyboard and accessibility support.
End-to-end coverage and harness
test/e2e/*, test/unit/helpers/vscodeMock.ts, test/unit/messagingValidation.test.ts
The Playwright suite covers preview interactions and HTML/PDF exports. Its fixture launches VS Code, supports VSIX testing, and records failure evidence.

Build and release delivery

Layer / File(s) Summary
Package and build configuration
package.json, esbuild.config.mjs, .vscodeignore, tsconfig.json, src/extension/commands.ts, src/types/markdown-plugins.d.ts, src/webview-ui/assets/*.d.ts, test/unit/previewPanel.test.ts
The package moves to version 0.5.0 and declares npm and supported Node.js versions. Build checks, dependency versions, package exclusions and production minification are updated.
CI verification and artifacts
.github/workflows/ci.yml
CI adds callable workflow support, type checking, a VS Code version matrix, VSIX packaging and failure evidence uploads.
Release creation and publishing
.github/workflows/release.yml, CHANGELOG.md, CONTRIBUTING.md, docs/RELEASE-PLAN.md
The release workflow detects version changes, creates or reuses a GitHub release, then publishes and verifies the VSIX on Marketplace and Open VSX. Release documentation records version 0.5.0 and its process.

Merge Risk: Low · up to dd888

The release changes look mergeable with minor follow-ups. IME users may see stale search results after composition, and the E2E CI job could disable persisted checkout credentials. The release workflow's retry and duplicate-version handling are only narrow hardening gaps.

A rabbit checks the render’s glow,
Then follows where the headings go.
A thousand finds are marked with care,
Safe images travel only there.
Two release paths carry the build,
While carrots wait beside the field.

- Around line 157-160: Update the searchInput event handling so a completed IME
composition schedules runSearch after the existing 80 ms delay, clearing any
pending searchTimer first. Keep the current behaviour of ignoring composing
input events and reusing the existing debounce flow.
