Continue ships a 'final release' of its VS Code extension and stops shipping notes after it.

ai-codingide-extensiondeprecationvscodemodel-config
◆Current state
In mid-June Continue cut what it calls the final stable release of its VS Code extension: it removed the CLI-install banner and Generate Rule, moved onboarding and new configs to explicit model definitions instead of Hub slugs, and updated a deprecation banner's export link. Two bare 2.0.0 and 2.1.0 tags followed with no notes.
◆Where it's heading
Through March the extension was in ordinary maintenance: JetBrains freeze fixes, dependency bumps, .continue/configs support and workspace-scoped history. June turns that into a wind-down, stripping Hub-dependent paths and pointing users at an export. The 2.x tags look like version housekeeping rather than a revival, because they carry no user-facing notes.
◆Prediction
Expect few or no annotated extension releases from here. Whether the 2.x line carries real work is unclear until a 2.x release ships with notes.

    VS Code extension 2.0.0 tag, no release notes

    A bare 2.0.0 version tag cut four days after the 'final release', with no notes. It reads as version housekeeping, not a new line of work.

    VS Code extension 2.1.0 tag, no release notes

    A 2.1.0 tag cut in the same minute as 2.0.0, also without notes. Two major tags at once fits renumbering, not two shipped releases.

    Final stable VS Code extension drops Hub slugs, points to export

    ⚡ SPARK

    The re-cut that actually published the final stable extension. It is the endpoint of the March maintenance arc: Hub slugs are gone from onboarding and users are pointed to an export path.

    Final extension release, partly published and re-cut as 1.2.24

    The first attempt at the final release, which only partly published because of a Marketplace API timeout. 1.2.24 replaced it with the same changes 16 minutes later.

    Adds .continue/configs and workspace-scoped session history

    The last ordinary feature release before the wind-down. It added .continue/configs support, history filtered by workspace and a fix so config.yaml always exists, along with a batch of dependency bumps.
