…ilot agent hooks GitHub Copilot in VS Code runs the cx-devassist Copilot plugin's hooks, which call `cx hooks copilot-cli-*`. The Checkmarx VS Code extension writes its "Checkmarx Self-Healing" setting and scanner switches to ~/.checkmarx/cx-onboarding-ide.properties. - pluginHost(): where a Copilot hook runs, from the PLUGIN_ROOT the host injects (AST-186850 PoC): ~/.copilot/installed-plugins → terminal (checked first), <VS Code user data>/agentPlugins → VS Code (all OSes, Insiders); fallback GITHUB_COPILOT_INTEGRATION_ID=vscode-chat. - selfHealingOff(): for Copilot in VS Code with a valid IDE file saying cx_self_healing_enabled=false, the file-write handler skips ASCA / KICS / SCA-manifest / Secrets without telemetry. Shell-command policy, the SCA package-install scan and prompt guardrails are unchanged. Backup for hooks that call cx directly; the plugin already stops before running cx. - scannerOn(): Copilot in VS Code takes scanner switches from the IDE file while it is valid, else from cx-onboarding.properties. - scannerconfig: IDE file reader (IDEPath, SelfHealingEnabled, IDEEnabled); missing, unreadable, > 8 KB or unknown cx_schema_version means on. The terminal Copilot CLI never reads the IDE file. No ast-cx-hooks change.

… host detection to VS Code - New package agenthooks/hostenv: PluginHost() (moved from cx/hooks.go) and TelemetryAgent(). Only VS Code's own agentPlugins folder (Code, Code - Insiders) counts as VS Code; ~/.copilot/installed-plugins is the terminal (checked first); any other PLUGIN_ROOT (VS Code forks, JetBrains, Visual Studio, ...) is another editor; GITHUB_COPILOT_INTEGRATION_ID=vscode-chat is used only when PLUGIN_ROOT is not set. - Telemetry agent for GitHub Copilot inside VS Code, by the extension that wrote the IDE file (cx_ide_extension): Copilot-VSCode-OneAssist (ast-results), Copilot-VSCode-DevAssist (cx-dev-assist), Copilot-VSCode (no valid file). Terminal Copilot and every other agent keep "<agent>-cli"; aiProvider is unchanged. Used by the ASCA, KICS, Secrets and remediation telemetry. - scannerconfig.IDEExtension() reads cx_ide_extension from a valid IDE file. - Self-Healing OFF only skips the file-write scans; shell-command policy, the SCA package-install scan and prompt guardrails always run.

VS Code has no severity threshold setting, so Copilot hooks running in VS Code now take cx_severity_threshold only from ~/.checkmarx/cx-onboarding-ide.properties, which is unset today and therefore low (nothing filtered). The terminal's cx-onboarding.properties threshold no longer relaxes VS Code denies; the terminal Copilot CLI and other agents are unchanged.

- Drop Copilot-VSCode-OneAssist / Copilot-VSCode-DevAssist; GitHub Copilot inside VS Code now always reports "Copilot-VSCode". - Remove the now-unused scannerconfig.IDEExtension() helper and the extension-specific test cases.

Drop the GITHUB_COPILOT_INTEGRATION_ID=vscode-chat fallback: it names the Copilot engine, not the plugin's host. Without PLUGIN_ROOT the host is now unknown and handled like the terminal.

The VS Code extension writes cx_severity_threshold=low to its state file, so only that file's value is read. Missing files, keys, or invalid values fall back to low. Co-Authored-By: Claude Haiku 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
