ci: auto-update workflow for new VSCode releases#4
Merged
Conversation
Daily cron at 10:42 UTC + manual dispatch. Resolves Microsoft's /latest/linux-<arch>/stable redirect for each of the three supported arches, compares the SHA against what the recipe pins, and if they differ: - downloads all three tarballs - recomputes sha256s - re-extracts LICENSES.chromium.html and re-computes its md5 - pulls the human-readable version out of resources/app/package.json - renames the recipe to vscode_<version>.bb and rewrites GIT_SHA, TIMESTAMP-*, SRC_URI[*.sha256sum] and the license md5 - opens a PR on a branch named auto-update/vscode-<version> Skips silently if the SHA already matches, or if a branch for that version already exists (assume a prior run's PR is still pending review). PRs are left for human review on purpose: bumping an opaque proprietary binary blob is exactly the case where a human eye on the diff is worth more than fully-automatic merge.

What it does:
PRs are left for human review intentionally — automated bumps of opaque binary blobs are exactly the case where a human eye on the diff is valuable. CI will run the multi-arch parse + fetch matrix and the end-to-end scarthgap build on the PR so reviewers see green before merging.
