[Bug] Instead of installing latest version of an extension, install an older one using cli

Commencez par le chemin de la CLI de code-server invoqué par code-server --install-extension, en utilisant les logs détaillés et la reproduction non versionnée charliermarsh.ruff. Comparez sa résolution de version avec le cas explicite @2026.34.0 ; le travail est terminé lorsqu’une installation non versionnée sélectionne la dernière version de l’extension et installe toujours correctement ses dépendances.

Is there an existing issue for this?

OS/Web Information

• Web Browser:
• Local OS:
• Remote OS: Ubuntu
• Remote Architecture: x86_64
• code-server --version: 4.107.1 8c077bf605a76ebb600d23b71e21c8756a2aee2a with Code 1.107.1

Steps to Reproduce

Using the cli (example with ruff extension)

code-server --install-extension charliermarsh.ruff

Expected

I expect the latest version to be installed eg 2026.34.0. However an older one is installed : 2022.0.17

Actual

The newest version is installed only if I specify it.

code-server --install-extension charliermarsh.ruff@2026.34.0 --verbose

I observe the same behavior for other extensions like continue.continue or hediet.vscode-drawio.
