      Renew VSCODE publishing API token and set a new reminder in the team Calendar to renew so we can't forget. This token makes it so that we can publish to the VSCode marketplace from our automated GitHub actions.

      The current PAT `VSCODE_AUTOMATED_PUBLISH_PAT_2026` stops being usable June 6, 2026. We should update it before then so our VSCode automated publishing keeps running smoothly.
      A new token can be generated at https://dev.azure.com/team-compass - it should have the scope `Marketplace` -> `Publish`. You can follow this nice guide: https://code.visualstudio.com/api/working-with-extensions/publishing-extension
      It's saved in our Github secrets.

              • Be sure to update the `VSCE_PAT` in our Github secrets so when publishing we use this new pat *********.

      Be sure to update the `VSCE_PAT` in our Github secrets so when publishing we use this new pat.
      Let's make sure there's a calendar invite to update this (and the next one) so we make sure we do this before it expires so it won't block any releases. Create a follow up ticket once we've done that as well.
