✅ Passed checks (2 passed)

Check name	Status	Explanation
Title Check	✅ Passed	The pull request title "chore(extensions): add Jest and enhance JSON support with dotenv and …" is clearly related to the main changes in the changeset. The title specifically highlights the addition of Jest (a testing extension) and dotenv (for environment/configuration support), which are prominent among the six extensions being added. While the ellipsis truncates additional details (Babel, PostCSS, Webpack, browserslist), the title effectively conveys the primary objective—enhancing the VS Code extension recommendations for testing and configuration tooling. The semantic prefix "chore" is appropriately applied for this type of maintenance update.
Description Check	✅ Passed	The pull request description is mostly complete and well-structured according to the repository template. It includes a comprehensive Changelog section with detailed "Added" and "Changed" entries that describe all six extensions with their purposes, and a thorough Checklist section with thoughtful annotations about which items apply to this tooling-only change. The References section is also fully present. However, the "Linked issues" section from the template is not included in the description, though this may be acceptable since the PR does not appear to close or relate to any specific issues. Overall, the description provides sufficient context and follows the template structure for the critical sections needed for release automation and PR tracking.

45-45: Well-organized extension additions with solid categorization.

The new VS Code extensions are properly integrated into the workspace recommendations. The additions—Jest for testing, Babel/PostCSS/Webpack for build pipeline support, and dotenv/Browserslist for configuration—are all legitimate, actively-maintained extensions that enhance the front-end development workflow. The new "Build & Tooling Extensions" section is logically positioned and well-commented. Formatting and structure remain consistent with the existing configuration.

Also applies to: 58-77

I am unable to get copilot to review this due to no premium request, coderabbit and Seren have approved this PR and I am ready to merge it.
