summary

A complete VSCode workflow that actually sends and receives kernel patches: a vscode-git-send-email extension that remembers series metadata, runs get_maintainer, generates safe git-send-email commands (doesn’t auto-press Enter); a vscode-patchwork explorer that downloads/apply patches, opens series, builds mbox replies; a clangd-based cross-reference using compile_commands.json for per-config symbol resolution; integrated tasks/test.sh for make/config/ccache, an F5/QEMU wrapper with GDB attached, and notebooks to reproduce syzkaller crashes and analyze ftrace.
