Research direction
No files or tests are named. Start by locating code-server's command-line option parsing and the extension-management entry point, then trace how built-in extensions are loaded. Done means a container can pass an extension ID such as vscode.github to --disable-extension and that extension is not available in the resulting instance.

Description
What is your suggestion?
I would like to disable built-in extensions, as they cannot be uninstalled.
something like:
code-server --disable-extension <ext_id>
Why do you want this feature?
I usually build a container with code-server in it and preinstall extensions / preconfigure it.
In the latest version the github extension automatically brings AI chat functions and people are of course confused because they will not work
I would like to disable the built-in extension "vscode.github" in my container image build
Are there any workarounds to get this functionality today?
