feat: add per-workspace indexing opt-in and stop/cancel control (#11456)
* feat: add per-workspace indexing opt-in and stop/cancel control

- Add codeIndexWorkspaceEnabled flag in workspaceState (default: false)
- Thread AbortController/AbortSignal through orchestrator → scanner
- Add Stop Indexing button and Stopping state to UI
- Fix handleSettingsChange() to abort active scan when disabling toggle
- Add translations for all 18 locales

* fix: correct abort handling in indexing scanner and orchestrator

- Re-throw AbortError in scanner's file processing catch block to prevent
  abort signals from being silently swallowed as file errors
- Reorder stopWatcher() before setSystemState() in orchestrator abort
  catch path to ensure watcher cleanup before state transition
- Update scanner test to assert AbortError propagation on mid-scan abort

* fix: optimize workspace check ordering, translate new i18n keys, fix abort handling

- Move workspace-enabled check before _recreateServices() in initialize()
  to avoid creating Qdrant/embedder connections for disabled workspaces
- Translate new i18n keys (indexingStopped, indexingStoppedPartial, stopping,
  stopIndexingButton, stoppingButton, workspaceToggleLabel,
  workspaceDisabledMessage) in all 17 non-English locales
- Re-throw AbortError in scanner catch block to prevent silent swallowing
- Reorder stopWatcher() before setSystemState() in orchestrator abort path
- Update scanner test to assert AbortError propagation on mid-scan abort
- Fix recoverFromError test for workspace-enabled check ordering

* fix: per-folder enablement key, abort-safe dispose and back-pressure, translate i18n

Addresses 0xMink review feedback:
- Store workspace enablement keyed by folder path to support multi-root
  workspaces (codeIndexWorkspaceEnabled:<path> instead of single boolean)
- Add test proving folder A enabled does not enable folder B
- dispose() now calls stopIndexing() to abort orphaned scans on folder removal
- Scanner back-pressure loop checks abort signal to avoid spin-waiting
- Move workspace-enabled check before _recreateServices() in initialize()
- Translate new i18n keys in all 17 non-English locales
- Fix abort handling in orchestrator and scanner catch blocks

* fix: flush debounced cache writes on abort to preserve indexing progress

* feat: add global auto-enable default for backward-compatible workspace indexing

* fix: stop/start indexer when auto-enable default changes effective state

* fix: URI-keyed enablement, throw AbortError in back-pressure, stopWatcher on early-return

* fix: iterate all managers when auto-enable default changes in multi-root workspaces

Local Setup & Development

  1. Clone the repo:
git clone https://github.com/RooCodeInc/Roo-Code.git
  1. Install dependencies:
pnpm install
  1. Run the extension:

There are several ways to run the Roo Code extension:

Development Mode (F5)

For active development, use VSCode's built-in debugging:

Press F5 (or go to RunStart Debugging) in VSCode. This will open a new VSCode window with the Roo Code extension running.

  • Changes to the webview will appear immediately.
  • Changes to the core extension will also hot reload automatically.

Automated VSIX Installation

To build and install the extension as a VSIX package directly into VSCode:

pnpm install:vsix [-y] [--editor=<command>]

This command will:

  • Ask which editor command to use (code/cursor/code-insiders) - defaults to 'code'
  • Uninstall any existing version of the extension.
  • Build the latest VSIX package.
  • Install the newly built VSIX.
  • Prompt you to restart VS Code for changes to take effect.

Options:

  • -y: Skip all confirmation prompts and use defaults
  • --editor=<command>: Specify the editor command (e.g., --editor=cursor or --editor=code-insiders)

Manual VSIX Installation

If you prefer to install the VSIX package manually:

  1. First, build the VSIX package:
    pnpm vsix
    
  2. A .vsix file will be generated in the bin/ directory (e.g., bin/roo-cline-<version>.vsix).
  3. Install it manually using the VSCode CLI:
    code --install-extension bin/roo-cline-<version>.vsix
    

We use changesets for versioning and publishing. Check our CHANGELOG.md for release notes.
