~/.vscode-server grows without bound (8.7 GB observed): interrupted Remote-SSH downloads left as .staging dirs, server versions VS Code no longer considers live, their orphaned code-<hash> CLI binaries, and superseded extension versions. Every deletion here is driven by a signal VS Code itself already writes to disk (cli/servers/lru.json, extensions/.obsolete, extensions/extensions.json, the .staging suffix, and a matching server directory) plus a running-process check, never by guessing at "newest N" from version numbers or mtimes. Deploys to $HOME/.local/bin/vscode-server-gc, which the ppat/coder homelab-workspace template's weekly coder_script already invokes if present (see scripts.tf's vscode_server_gc resource). Ref: #771

Superseded by ppat/coder#869 — the GC script belongs in the coder template, not dotfiles. See #771 for the corrected scope and ppat/coder#869 for the implementation. |

~/.vscode-serveris created by VS Code the moment it connects to aworkspace, independent of whether dotfiles have ever been applied to
that workspace (confirmed: the disposable
testCoder workspacereached ~11 GB of
~/.vscode-serverwith dotfiles never applied). Adotfiles-hosted GC script can't cover that case, and the template's
existing weekly cron invoked it via a guard
(
[ -x $HOME/.local/bin/vscode-server-gc ] && ... || true) thatsilently reports success on any workspace where the script isn't
present.
Moved to
ppat/coderas a template-owned script instead — seeppat/coder#869.Ref: #771
