Logging and bugfixes

[anesvijskij]

This pull request introduces comprehensive logging and improved observability across the AcuMate VS Code extension, along with enhancements to validation, completion, and snippet features. The most significant changes are the addition of structured logging for backend interactions and commands, more robust configuration state reporting, and tighter validation and IntelliSense alignment with Acumatica platform requirements.

Logging & Observability Improvements:

• All extension subsystems now log to a single AcuMate output channel, providing structured logs for backend requests, cache hits/misses, configuration reloads, and command execution. This makes debugging and CI integration much easier. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11]

• All VS Code commands now log their invocation (with arguments and timing where appropriate), and cache operations and backend feature initialization are tracked for auditing and troubleshooting.

• The extension now actively reports backend configuration state, warning the user (with actionable prompts) if required settings are missing or backend features are disabled. Dynamic configuration changes are detected and handled gracefully.

Validation & Completion Enhancements:

• Validation now requires qp-panel and all qp-* controls (except qp-field, qp-label, and qp-include) to define id attributes, catching missing identifiers and misbound panels before packaging.

• The extension enforces that <qp-template name="record-*"> is only valid inside <qp-data-feed>, matching runtime restrictions and filtering template name completions accordingly. [1] [2]

IntelliSense & Snippet Improvements:

• Template name completions now filter out record-* entries unless editing inside a <qp-data-feed>, aligning suggestions with validation rules.

• The ValueChanged snippet now includes a field parameter in the decorator and correctly shifts argument positions, improving event handler scaffolding accuracy.

Other Notable Changes:

• The initialization process now registers the logger, checks backend configuration, and sets up configuration watchers to ensure observability and feature readiness from extension startup.

• TypeScript IntelliSense providers are now only initialized once and are guarded by backend configuration state, with detailed logging to clarify their activation.

These changes collectively make the extension more robust, observable, and user-friendly, especially when troubleshooting backend-powered features or integrating with CI.

Pull request overview

This pull request introduces comprehensive logging infrastructure and validation enhancements to the AcuMate VS Code extension. The changes improve observability, enforce stricter HTML validation rules aligned with Acumatica platform requirements, and enhance IntelliSense behavior.

• Added structured logging system with a unified AcuMate output channel for tracking backend requests, cache operations, configuration changes, and command execution
• Implemented validation requiring id attributes on qp-panel and most qp-* controls (excluding qp-field, qp-label, and qp-include)
• Enhanced template validation to enforce that record-* prefixed templates only appear inside qp-data-feed elements
