Structs

CachedSettingsValue 🔒

Constants

SETTINGS_FILE_CACHE_TTL_MS 🔒

Short TTL cache for parsed settings.json reads. The InspectConfigurationValue handler reads BOTH the user settings.json and the workspace settings.json on every call; log audit 20260501T053137 shows ~57 Inspect calls per session = 114 disk reads of the same one or two files. With this cache, repeated reads within TTL_MS reuse the parsed Value and a burst of Inspects collapses to ~1 disk read per file. TTL is short enough (250ms) that user edits to settings.json show up within a quarter-second.

Functions

ClearSettingsFileCache

Drop every cached settings.json parse. Caller: any code path that mutates settings (UpdateConfigurationValue, initialize_and_merge_configurations).

InsertDottedDefault 🔒

Insert a value into target at the dotted path git.enabled, creating intermediate object nodes as needed. Mirrors inspect_configuration_value’s try_fold traversal so a lookup for git.enabled finds target["git"]["enabled"].

SettingsFileCache 🔒

collect_default_configurations 🔒

Collects default configurations from all installed extensions.

initialize_and_merge_configurations

Logic to load and merge all configuration files into the effective configuration stored in ApplicationState.

read_and_parse_configuration_file 🔒

An internal helper to read and parse a single JSON configuration file.
