+# Remove VSIX publish steps design
+
+Date: 2026-05-10
+
+## Problem
+Two GitHub workflows still do local packaging *and* publish to registries:
+- `.github/workflows/marketplace-publish.yml`
+- `.github/workflows/nightly-publish.yml`
+
+User wants to keep:
+- `.vsix` build
+- git tag creation
+- GitHub Release creation
+
+User wants to remove only registry publish steps:
+- VS Code Marketplace publish
+- Open VSX publish
+
+## Goals
+- Keep VSIX packaging in both workflows.
+- Keep git tag creation in `marketplace-publish.yml`.
+- Keep GitHub Release creation in `marketplace-publish.yml`.
+- Remove all registry publish steps from both workflows.
+
+## Non-goals
+- No changes to `.vsix` packaging commands.
+- No changes to git tag logic.
+- No changes to GitHub Release logic.
+- No changes to workflow triggers or job permissions unless needed by removed steps.
+- No changes to app code or package scripts.
+
+## Design
+### 1) Remove Marketplace publish from release workflow
+In `.github/workflows/marketplace-publish.yml`, delete the `Publish Extension` step that runs:
+- `pnpm --filter roo-cline publish:marketplace`
+
+Keep:
+- `Package Extension`
+- `Create and Push Git Tag`
+- `Create GitHub Release`
+
+### 2) Remove registry publish from nightly workflow
+In `.github/workflows/nightly-publish.yml`, delete both publishing steps:
+- `Publish to VS Code Marketplace`
+- `Publish to Open VSX Registry`
+
+Keep:
+- checkout
+- node/pnpm setup
+- nightly version patching
+- `Build VSIX`
+
+### 3) Preserve build artifacts
+Both workflows should still leave the packaged `.vsix` in `bin/` so it can be used by:
+- GitHub Release assets in the release workflow
+- local inspection or later upload steps if added later
+
+## Data flow after change
+### marketplace-publish.yml
+1. Trigger on release-related PR close or manual dispatch.
+2. Checkout code.
+3. Setup Node/pnpm.
+4. Package extension into `.vsix`.
+5. Create/push git tag.
+6. Create GitHub Release with `.vsix` attached.
+7. No registry publish happens.
+
+### nightly-publish.yml
+1. Trigger on `main` push or manual dispatch.
+2. Checkout code.
+3. Setup Node/pnpm.
+4. Patch nightly version.
+5. Build `.vsix`.
+6. No registry publish happens.
+
+## Risks
+- Nightly workflow no longer publishes to registries automatically.
+- Release workflow no longer publishes to Marketplace automatically.
+- Release distribution now depends on GitHub Release only.
+
+These risks are accepted by request.
+
+## Testing
+- Verify `marketplace-publish.yml` no longer contains `publish:marketplace`.
+- Verify `nightly-publish.yml` no longer contains Marketplace/Open VSX publish commands.
+- Verify both workflows still contain packaging/build steps.
+- Verify `marketplace-publish.yml` still contains git tag and GitHub Release steps.
+
+## Acceptance criteria
+- `marketplace-publish.yml` no longer publishes to VS Code Marketplace.
+- `nightly-publish.yml` no longer publishes to VS Code Marketplace or Open VSX.
+- Both workflows still build `.vsix`.
+- `marketplace-publish.yml` still tags and creates GitHub Release.
+- No app code or package script changes required.
