Upgrade @vscode/test-electron to 3.1.0 so macOS CI resolves the executable declared by VS Code 1.131 instead of the removed Electron compatibility path. Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com> Copilot-Session: 39dcc6a3-0fbd-4f36-9d0f-68677de49c27

Why
VS Code 1.131 removed the legacy
Contents/MacOS/Electroncompatibility path from its macOS application bundle.@vscode/test-electron2.5.2 still launches that hard-coded path, so all macOS smoke jobs fail withENOENTbefore VS Code or the extension starts.This currently blocks the macOS checks on #1656. The upstream issue and fix are microsoft/vscode-test#349 and microsoft/vscode-test#350.
What
Upgrade
@vscode/test-electronfrom 2.5.2 to 3.1.0 and refresh the lockfile. Version 3.1.0 resolves the macOS executable fromCFBundleExecutableinInfo.plist, with the oldElectronpath retained as a fallback for older VS Code builds.This is a development-only dependency change. Version 3.1.0 requires Node 22, which is already used by CI.
