- rewrite prerelease.yml version computation with conventional commit bump rules and -rc.N suffix - update prerelease-release.yml to validate -rc.N suffix instead of odd minor - update extension-publish-prerelease.yml to detect pre-releases via -rc.N pattern - update extension-publish.yml to reject -rc.N versions for stable channel - update extension-publish-marketplace.yml channel labels to drop odd minor references - update main.yml post-release reset to use -rc.0 suffix instead of odd minor increment 🔧 - Generated by Copilot

Pre-release versioning previously relied on an even/odd minor version convention to distinguish stable from pre-release builds across the CI/CD pipeline. This scheme was fragile, produced version collisions when both pipelines targeted the same minor, and was redundant — the VS Code Marketplace determines channel placement via the
--pre-releaseflag, not version number inspection. This PR replaces the entire even/odd scheme with standard SemVer-rc.Npre-release suffixes.Changes
