[isabelle-dev] Isabelle/VSCode as bundled application

[Makarius]

*** Isabelle/VSCode Prover IDE ***

* VSCodium, an open-source distribution of VSCode without MS
telemetry, has been bundled with Isabelle as add-on component. The
command-line tool "isabelle vscode" automatically configures it as
Isabelle/VSCode and starts the application.

* Command-line tools "isabelle electron" and "isabelle node" provide
access to the underlying technologies of VSCodium, for use in other
applications. This essentially provides a freely programmable Chromium
browser engine that works uniformly on all platforms.


This refers to Isabelle/73034d385688, which also provides an updated 
README.md: VSCodium shows that in the regular extension dialog.

After some weeks of struggling with the underlying technologies, the required 
patches to VSCodium turned out rather simple, see 
Isabelle/src/Tools/VSCode/patches/.


This is the first time to make it semi-public. There are many small and big 
questions that are still open, see details in
