Pull request overview
Adds a new VS Code Extension Framework capability to the docs hub, defining the spec (requirements) and design (pipeline shape and operational model) for an opt-in, GitHub-native build/test/version/release workflow for VS Code extensions, and wires it into site navigation and the Capabilities index.
Changes:
- Adds a new capability section with
index.md,spec.md, anddesign.mdunderCapabilities/vscode-extension-framework/. - Wires the new capability into site navigation (
zensical.toml) and the Capabilities index table. - Documents the end-to-end lifecycle contract (built-once/shipped-once), host-matrix testing, label-driven SemVer, and GitHub Release–based VSIX distribution (optional marketplace).

Adds a new VS Code Extension Framework capability to the central docs hub — the VS Code counterpart to Process-PSModule: one opt-in, GitHub-native pipeline that builds, tests, versions, packages, and publishes an extension from a template and a single settings file.

No internal/user split
The framework itself is documented centrally here; each extension's own user docs live in that extension's repository.
