- Around line 367-383: The two unlabeled fenced code blocks showing the expected
output strings ("Ballerina 2201.x.x (Swan Lake Update x)" and 'openjdk version
"21.x.x"') are triggering markdownlint MD040; update both fences around those
expected-output examples (the blocks containing those exact strings) to include
a language label such as text or console (e.g., change ``` to ```text) so the
markdown blocks are explicitly annotated.
- Around line 110-113: Replace the ambiguous entry "bal files" with a
backtick-enclosed file extension by changing it to "`.bal` files" so it matches
the other code elements and follows the guideline to enclose code elements, file
names, and extensions in backticks; update the list entry alongside
"Ballerina.toml", "Dependencies.toml", and "resources folder" to ensure `.bal`
is formatted as a code element.
- Around line 281-283: Replace the inaccurate step that suggests using
"files.watcherExclude" to increase VS Code memory with a corrected instruction:
explain that "files.watcherExclude" only reduces file-watching load and does not
change memory allocation, and instruct readers to use "Preferences: Configure
Runtime Arguments" to edit argv.json and add the V8 heap flag ("js-flags":
"--max-old-space-size=8192") followed by fully quitting and relaunching VS Code;
reference the settings key files.watcherExclude, the command name Preferences:
Configure Runtime Arguments, the argv.json filename, and the
js-flags/--max-old-space-size flag so maintainers can find and update the exact
lines.

Resolve contradictory Java prerequisite and Style Guide violations in new documentation.
This new documentation file has four issues that violate Microsoft Style Guide requirements:
-
Java prerequisite contradiction (lines 53 vs 353): Line 53 states users must have JRE 21 "installed" as a prerequisite check, while line 353 states it is "automatically installed if not present." This sends users down opposite troubleshooting paths. Choose one consistent approach.
-
Code element formatting (line 112): Use backticks to format code elements. Change "bal files" to
.balfiles. -
Misleading VS Code memory description (lines 281-283): The step is labeled "Increase VS Code memory allocation" but describes adding
files.watcherExcludeto exclude directories. This reduces file watching workload, not memory allocation. Clarify the actual purpose or restructure this step. -
Unlabeled code fences (lines ~369, ~381): Code blocks require language identifiers (e.g.,
bash,json). Add appropriate language tags to all fenced code blocks.

Use the actual .bal extension here.
bal files is less precise than .bal files, and it is the only file-type reference in this list that is not formatted as a code element.

‼️ IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.

🌐 Web query:
VS Code files.watcherExclude setting what does it do
💡 Result:
files.watcherExclude tells VS Code’s file-watching system to stop watching (listening for file change events) in the paths that match the given glob patterns. This reduces the amount of OS file watchers VS Code needs, which can lower startup/CPU load and help avoid watcher-limit problems on large folders (for example build outputs, dependency folders). (code.visualstudio.com)
What it doesn’t do: it doesn’t hide files in the Explorer and it doesn’t automatically exclude them from Search—those are handled by files.exclude and search.exclude respectively. (All of these settings use VS Code glob patterns.) (code.visualstudio.com)
Example:
"files.watcherExclude": {
"**/node_modules/**": true,
"**/dist/**": true,
"**/build/**": true
}

`how to increase VS Code memory allocation extension host memory limit`
💡 Result:
### Increase VS Code **Extension Host** heap size (V8)
1. Open Command Palette → **Preferences: Configure Runtime Arguments** (this opens `argv.json`). [1]
2. Add a V8 heap flag (value is **MB**), for example:
```jsonc
{
"js-flags": "--max-old-space-size=8192"
}- Fully quit VS Code and relaunch (runtime args only apply on restart). [1]
--max-old-space-size is a standard Node/V8 flag that raises the “old space” (heap) limit. [2]
Important limitation
VS Code’s Extension Host runs on Electron’s embedded Node/V8, and there’s a hard ceiling you can’t remove at runtime (it’s tied to V8/Electron internals like pointer compression). VS Code confirms there’s no VS Code API to raise this beyond what the runtime build allows. [3]
Sources: [1] VS Code docs (Configure Runtime Arguments / argv.json) (code.visualstudio.com), [2] Node.js CLI docs (--max-old-space-size) (nodejs.org), [3] VS Code discussion on extension host heap limit (github.com)

- 3: Increasing --max-old-space-size for the extension node process microsoft/vscode-discussions#867
Replace or rename this step—files.watcherExclude reduces file-watching load, not memory allocation.
files.watcherExclude excludes directories from file-watching to lower CPU and startup load, but does not increase VS Code memory allocation. To increase Extension Host memory, use Preferences: Configure Runtime Arguments to add the V8 heap flag in argv.json:
{
"js-flags": "--max-old-space-size=8192"
}Then fully quit and relaunch VS Code for the change to take effect.

Add a language to the expected-output fences.
The two fenced blocks under “Expected output” are unlabeled, so markdownlint will keep reporting MD040. text or console is enough here.
