chore(devtools): extract the DevTools extension into its own repository#207JosunLP wants to merge 2 commits into
Conversation
The reference `extension/` folder was ~330 lines of untyped vanilla JavaScript with no build, tests, linting or packaging. It now lives in bQuery/devtools-extension, rebuilt in TypeScript on BrowserExtensionTemplate, so it can follow browser-store review cycles instead of the npm release train. Nothing under `src/` changes behaviourally: `@bquery/bquery/devtools` still exports the same stable bridge protocol (`connectDevtoolsBridge`, `createBridgeServer`, `BRIDGE_PROTOCOL_VERSION` v1). That protocol is now proven by an external consumer, which is what it was stabilised for in 1.15. - Remove `extension/`. - Point the living docs at the new repository: the devtools guide (exit criteria, "load the extension" instructions, version history), the introduction, README module table, `AGENT.md` and `llms.txt`. - Keep the historical 1.15 records accurate rather than rewriting them: the CHANGELOG entry and `docs/release-notes/1.15.md` still say the extension shipped in `extension/`, with the dead tree link replaced by a note that it has since moved. - Record the removal under CHANGELOG "Unreleased".

Make the external extension available before merging, or gate these references.
This PR removes the tracked extension/ directory and points the DevTools guide and related living documentation at bQuery/devtools-extension, but the supplied repository state is not yet public and does not contain the published implementation. Merging now would leave users directed to unavailable setup material. Publish the extension first, or update the availability and setup claims until the external repository is ready.

Substantively right, and I am deliberately not changing the docs for it. Leaving this thread open, because it is a live merge blocker rather than something a commit here can close.
One detail corrected: the repository is not missing — bQuery/devtools-extension exists and its CI is running. What it does not yet have on main is the implementation, because that lives in bQuery/devtools-extension#1, which is green and awaiting merge. So the consequence you describe is real: merge this today and the DevTools guide sends readers to a repository holding a template and workflows, not an extension.
The resolution is ordering, not wording. It is stated in this PR's description ("Merge order matters"), and the maintainer has set the sequence explicitly:
- ci: remove the superseded legacy CodeQL workflow devtools-extension#2 — legacy CodeQL workflow removed ✅ merged
- feat: rebuild the bQuery DevTools extension on BrowserExtensionTemplate devtools-extension#1 — the extension itself ⏳ green, awaiting merge
- this PR ⏳ last
Hedging the availability claims instead would mean writing text that is wrong the moment step 2 lands, then reverting it — churn that makes the history harder to read, for a window that is measured in minutes. The links are correct for the state this PR is meant to be merged into.
If step 2 were abandoned rather than merged, this PR should be closed rather than reworded, so the hedge would never be the right fix in either branch of that decision.

@JosunLP, thanks for the clarification.
Verification confirms that bQuery/devtools-extension#1 is open, clean, and unmerged. Its diff contains the bQuery DevTools implementation. The main branch still contains the BrowserExtensionTemplate implementation.
The finding remains a merge-order blocker. No documentation change is necessary if this PR merges only after bQuery/devtools-extension#1.

Learning: For bQuery/bQuery pull request `#207`, the external `bQuery/devtools-extension` repository exists, but the bQuery DevTools implementation is introduced by `bQuery/devtools-extension#1`. Pull request `#207` must merge only after that pull request merges; temporary documentation hedging is not required.

CodeRabbit is right: this pull request does touch `src/` — the module comment in `src/devtools/index.ts` now points at the new repository. The entry claimed otherwise, which would have been misleading to anyone diffing the release. Says what is actually true instead: no runtime behaviour changed, and the single edit under `src/` is that doc comment. The API and bridge-protocol details are unchanged.

Summary
Removes the reference
extension/folder from this repository and points every living reference atbQuery/devtools-extension, where the DevTools browser extension has been rebuilt in TypeScript.User-facing impact: none at the API level. Nothing under
src/changes behaviourally —@bquery/bquery/devtoolsstill exports the same stable bridge protocol (connectDevtoolsBridge,createBridgeServer,BRIDGE_PROTOCOL_VERSIONv1). The only change tosrc/is a doc comment. Readers following the devtools guide are sent to the new repository instead of a folder that no longer exists.This is phase 6 of the extraction; phases 1–5 are bQuery/devtools-extension#1.
Motivation
Closes #205.
extension/was ~330 lines of untyped vanilla JavaScript with no build, tests, linting or packaging, shipped from a repo whose every other line is strict TypeScript under test.Changes included
Removed
extension/(8 files: manifest, background worker, content script, devtools page, panel, README).Living documentation → new repository

docs/release-notes/1.15.mdstill state the extension shipped inextension/, because it did. What changed is the deadtree/main/extensionhyperlink, replaced with a note that it has since moved —lycheechecksdocs/**, so leaving it would have gone red.No public API, behaviour, or workflow changes.

Notes for reviewers
.github/copilot-instructions.mdmentions a "reference extension" in its 1.15 release narrative with no path. I left it: it's historical prose, and it's one of the filescheck:ai-guidancecompares.typeof import('@bquery/bquery/devtools')type queries, so a futureBRIDGE_PROTOCOL_VERSIONbump here surfaces there as a compile error rather than a silent runtime mismatch. Worth knowing before the next protocol change.Generated by Claude Code
