Deprecate in favor of ms-dotnettools.msbuild-binlog-analyzer - #19
Merged
Conversation
This dotutils extension has been superseded by the official Microsoft extension "MSBuild Binlog Analyzer for VS Code" (ms-dotnettools.msbuild-binlog-analyzer). Convert this build into a migration tombstone that guides users to the replacement: - activate(): best-effort, non-blocking deprecation prompt that offers to install the official extension and uninstall this one (skipped once the official extension is present or the user dismisses it). - package.json: mark displayName/description as DEPRECATED pointing at the new id; bump 0.10.27 -> 0.10.28 so a final notice release can ship. - README: prominent deprecation banner linking to the new Marketplace item. - CHANGELOG: 0.10.28 deprecation entry. Existing functionality is left intact so current users are not broken while they migrate.

A single transient toast is too easy to dismiss, so most users would never
migrate. Replace it with two harder-to-miss layers (still best-effort, never
blocks activation):
- One-time blocking modal (tracked in globalState). Escape/Cancel only defers
it to the next activation; it is never treated as a permanent dismissal.
- Persistent amber status-bar item ("Binlog Analyzer deprecated") that remains
every session until the user migrates or opts out, and re-opens the migration
prompt on click.
"Install new extension" installs ms-dotnettools.msbuild-binlog-analyzer, hides
the status bar, and offers to uninstall this build and reload. "Don't show
again" suppresses both layers. Everything goes silent once the official
extension is installed.
