Repo	superproject

VS Code is installed and launchable as /usr/bin/code on every distro The candy installs Microsoft’s Visual Studio Code by two paths that converge on the same launcher: on Arch a sha256-verified direct tarball extracted to /opt/vscode and symlinked to /usr/bin/code, and on Fedora the code RPM from Microsoft’s yum repo. Either path lands an executable at /usr/bin/code that prints its semantic version, so both are verifiable the same cross-distro way.

Acceptance plan

This candy’s plan: — the runnable spec charly check executes against a live deployment. check: steps are idempotent probes; run: steps change state.
