Research the official install method, create scripts, test them in a sandbox, LAUNCH the app, take a screenshot showing it running, and submit your result. The submit_result tool will verify the screenshot — if the app isn't visibly open it will reject and you must keep trying. Remember to delete the sandbox when done.
Let me break down what I need to do:
Let me start:
The metadata shows it has apt package "code", snap "code", flatpak "com.visualstudio.code". For a Linux sandbox, apt is the most straightforward approach.
Let me start by researching the official install method.
I'll help you create install and launch scripts for Visual Studio Code on Linux. Let me start by researching the official installation method.
{
"url": "https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/setup/linux",
"prompt": "What is the official recommended method to install Visual Studio Code on Linux? What are the package manager options?"
}# Official VS Code Installation Methods for Linux Based on the documentation, the recommended installation approach depends on your Linux distribution: ## Primary Methods by Distribution **Debian/Ubuntu-based systems:** The easiest method is downloading and installing the `.deb package (64-bit)` through either the graphical software center or command line with `sudo apt install ./<file>.deb`. **RHEL/Fedora/CentOS:** These distributions use a yum repository. Installation involves running a script to add Microsoft's signing key and repository, then using `dnf install code` (Fedora 22+) or `yum install code` (older versions). **openSUSE/SLE-based:** Similar to RHEL/Fedora, these systems use the yum repository approach with `sudo zypper install code`. ## Alternative Package Managers - **Snap:** "officially distributed as a Snap package" via `sudo snap install --classic code` - **Arch Linux:** Community-maintained AUR package available - **NixOS:** Community-maintained Nix package available - **Manual RPM:** Direct `.rpm` download possible, though auto-updates require the repository setup ## Key Advantage When installing the `.deb package, it automatically prompts to install the apt repository and signing key, enabling system-level auto-updates alongside other packages.
Now I'll create the install script. For Linux (Ubuntu/Debian), I'll use the apt method with the official Microsoft repository:
{
"name": "linux-0c31c819",
"path": "/tmp/install.sh",
"content": "#!/bin/bash\nset -e\n\n# Install Visual Studio Code on Linux (Ubuntu/Debian)\n# This script:\n# 1. Updates package lists\n# 2. Installs prerequisites\n# 3. Adds Microsoft's GPG key\n# 4.

}The user is not me running this interactively - this is an app installer agent task. I need to install VS Code on Linux and create working scripts. The sandbox user is "cua" which appears to be a non-root user. Let me try running the install script without sudo or with sudo password-less.
Let me try a simpler approach - just use apt-get directly and see if sudo works, or find out if we need to use a different method.
Let me try a simpler approach without sudo, or check if we can use sudo without a password:

}Great! VS Code is already installed on the system at /usr/bin/code. This is a common pre-installed scenario. However, I still need to create proper install and launch scripts as part of the requirement.
Let me fix the install script to handle this existing configuration issue. The problem is that there's a conflicting GPG key signature. I should:
Since VS Code is already installed, I can: 1. Create a cleaner install script that handles this scenario 2. Create a launch script 3. Test the launch script to get the app running 4. Take a screenshot 5. Extract metadata 6. Submit the result
Let me create a better install script that's idempotent and handles existing installations:
Perfect! VS Code is already installed. Let me create a cleaner, idempotent install script that handles this scenario:

The script ran but there's a prompt asking if we want to continue. This is because it detected WSL. I need to either answer 'y' or modify the launch script to avoid the prompt by using environment variables or flags. Let me update the launch script to suppress this prompt.
I'll use the --no-sandbox flag or try launching with the -y option, or I can set environment variables. Actually, looking at the output, the code command is running but prompting. Let me try modifying the script to add y to stdin or use different flags.
Actually, I should just pass y to stdin in the launch command or modify the launch script to handle this better. Let me try a different approach - maybe using code --no-sandbox or checking if it's running in a Linux desktop environment properly.
Actually, the best approach might be to just wait a bit longer and take a screenshot anyway - the application might still be opening. Let me try taking a screenshot to see the current state.

Let me take a screenshot to check if VS Code is visible now.
The timeout suggests the process might be running. Let me take a screenshot to see if VS Code is visible on the display:

}
}CRITERIA NOT MET: - extract_metadata_script: FAIL: Display name "Visual Studio Code" is hardcoded; should be extracted from the desktop file's Name= field. Version extraction is fragile (assumes dpkg and specific grep pattern); should use `dpkg -s code` or `rpm -q --queryformat` for reliability. Icon paths are hardcoded locations; should parse Icon= from the desktop file or use `find` to discover them. Desktop entry path is hardcoded; should search `/usr/share/applications/` or use `locate` to find it dynamically. Fix the issues above, then call submit_result again.
The submission requires a more robust metadata extraction script. Let me create a better one that dynamically extracts values:

Now I need to submit the result with all the final deliverables. I have: 1. Install script - works correctly 2. Launch script - works and launches VS Code successfully 3. Extract metadata script - dynamically extracts metadata from desktop files and system 4. A screenshot showing VS Code open 5. Valid JSON metadata output
Let me prepare the final submission with all the correct content.

}
}CRITERIA NOT MET: - extract_metadata_script: FAIL: Display name is hardcoded as "Visual Studio Code" with only a fallback to desktop file parsing; should dynamically extract from desktop file first or query package manager metadata, and icon search relies on hardcoded candidate paths as fallback instead of purely dynamic discovery based on installed artifacts. Fix the issues above, then call submit_result again.
I see - the display name should not be hardcoded at all. Let me create a version that extracts it entirely from the desktop file or package metadata:
