Closes #2119 DotRush is a lightweight C# extension available for VS Code (and compatible editors such as Cursor-style builds) that users have requested as an alternative to the official ms-dotnettools.csharp, anysphere.csharp, and muhammad-sammy.csharp extensions. Previously, DotRush users would get a blocking error message at startup: "Ionide requires one of the following C# extensions to be installed: ms-dotnettools.csharp, anysphere.csharp or muhammad-sammy.csharp" ...and Ionide would refuse to activate at all. This is a poor experience for users who have DotRush installed. Adding nromanov.dotrush to requiredExtensions means: - DotRush users no longer see the blocking startup warning - All Ionide language-service features work normally for DotRush users Note: The extensionPack in release/package.json would also need updating to include DotRush in the recommended co-install list, but that file requires maintainer sign-off as it affects published metadata.

Summary
Closes #2119
DotRush is a lightweight C# extension for VS Code (and compatible editors like Cursor) that users have requested as an alternative to
ms-dotnettools.csharp,anysphere.csharp, andmuhammad-sammy.csharp.Problem
Previously, any user who had only DotRush installed would get a blocking error at Ionide startup:
…and Ionide would refuse to activate entirely. All F# language features (IntelliSense, type checking, project loading) were unavailable, even though DotRush can satisfy the underlying dependency.
Change
Add
"nromanov.dotrush"to therequiredExtensionslist insrc/fsharp.fs:This list is only used to decide whether to show the "please install a C# extension" warning — it has no effect on other functionality.
Notes
coreclr-compatible debug adapter for F# debugging to work. If it does, debugging will work seamlessly; if not, users would need a separate C# extension for debugging. Either way, this is better than blocking all language features.extensionPackinrelease/package.json: To also suggest DotRush as a co-install option,release/package.json'sextensionPackwould need updating too — but that file requires maintainer review as it affects the published VS Code marketplace metadata.Test Status
Build verified passing (
dotnet fable src/Ionide.FSharp.fsproj) — only pre-existing deprecation warnings, no new errors.
