Research direction

Start by reading the current unpublish command and the linked discussion to understand the deletion behavior and intended replacement. Implement the separate unpublish and forced delete flows, including interactive confirmation, then update the CLI documentation to explain the consequences and verify both commands behave as specified.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Area: tfx-cli triage

See: https://github.com/microsoft/vsmarketplace/discussions/1708?#discussioncomment-17868775

The current unpublish command will perform a delete, not actually an unpublish.

With the new inability to restore a deleted extension, this si causing issues.

Recommendation:

  • Replace the underlying implementation of unpublish to properly unpublish
  • Add remove or delete command with a --force option with a confirmation when called interactively
  • Add documentation to help to explain the severe consequences.
