Flagged for review. Read the source before running it.
Use when releasing the Cline VS Code extension — stable (currently the combined legacy+next A/B VSIX via ext-vscode-ab-package), nightly (ext-vscode-publish-nightly), or a legacy-branch hotfix (ext-vscode-publish-legacy). Guides version selection, changelog, PostHog rollout-flag coordination, workflow dispatch, environment approvals, tagging, and post-publish verification, plus the eventual cutover to publishing the SDK extension standalone.
