[debug-certificate-manager] add homeDirectory config#5809
Merged
Conversation
Adds a new extension setting that, when set, is used as the resolved home directory for expanding `~` in the workspace certificate store path, overriding both the local `os.homedir()` lookup and the terminal-based resolution used in remote workspaces. Recommended to be configured at the user level rather than per-workspace. Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>

Summary
Adds a new
debugCertificateManager.homeDirectorysetting to the Debug Certificate Manager VS Code extension. When set, this value is used to resolve a leading~in the workspace certificate store path, overriding both the localos.homedir()lookup and the terminal-based resolution used in remote workspaces.This gives users a deterministic way to point the extension at the correct home directory in environments where the previous resolution mechanisms are unreliable.
