# Configure VS Code Workspace — Verify

Use this to audit `.vscode/` compliance on a heir without changing anything. To apply, use `/configure-workspace`.

Workspace settings are the project-specific override layer over user-scope settings.

## Objective

Report drift between the workspace's `.vscode/` and the heir-workspace baseline:

- Which `vscode_assets` are present / missing
- Which `bootstrap_templates` (`.vscode/` prefix) are present / missing
- Which `heir-workspace-settings-baseline.json` keys are compliant / drifted / missing in `.vscode/settings.json`

## Source of truth

Same as `/configure-workspace`: baseline + manifest + marker.

## Read-Only Steps

1. Verify `.github/.act-heir.json` exists. If absent, refuse.
2. Read `edition_version` from the marker.
3. Read `vscode_assets` and `bootstrap_templates` from `.github/config/edition-manifest.json`.
4. For each `vscode_asset`: check whether `.vscode/<asset>` exists.
5. For each `bootstrap_template` with `.vscode/` prefix: check whether the file exists.
6. Load `heir-workspace-settings-baseline.json` and compare each key against `.vscode/settings.json` (respect `mergeMode`).
7. Report compliance summary + drift table + missing list + recommendation.
