fix: work around VS Code >= 1.123 webview resource corruption in IT runs

[lordrip]

Fixes #1468 (part of #1466).

What

Two commits:

1. chore: bump vscode-extension-tester from 8.23.0 to 8.24.0 — @djelinek's bump, cherry-picked as-is from fix/extester-update (the patch below pins to 8.24.0).
2. A Yarn patch for vscode-extension-tester that works around the root cause of the blank Kaoto editor webview in CI.

Why

The blank webview is a VS Code bug, not a Kaoto or ExTester regression: ExTester's --open_resource opens the test workspace via a second-instance CLI call, and when that lands while VS Code is still starting up, VS Code ≥ 1.123.0 duplicates every 256 KiB chunk of every webview resource in the window — the Kaoto bundle arrives at 2× its size and fails to parse. The webview service worker then caches the corrupted response, so a single raced boot permanently poisons the test-resources/settings profile (which is why retried CI jobs failed deterministically).

Full analysis in #1468. Upstream reports: microsoft/vscode#330243 (the bug, with a self-contained repro: https://github.com/lordrip/vscode-webview-corruption-repro) and redhat-developer/vscode-extension-tester#2454 (the triggering sequence; an upstream ExTester fix is being proposed — this Yarn patch can be dropped once it ships).

How

.yarn/patches/vscode-extension-tester-npm-8.24.0-62b74258e3.patch makes VSBrowser.openResources wait for the workbench and settle for 10 s (once per session; EXTESTER_OPEN_RESOURCE_SETTLE_MS overrides) before the first CLI open, keeping it out of the vulnerable startup window. Runtime openResources calls from tests are unaffected after the first settle.

Validation

• Local, VS Code 1.132.0, fresh profile: the ExTester reproduction corrupted 1/1 unpatched, clean 2/2 patched.
• Real CI (CODE_VERSION matrix on the diagnostic PR TEMP: isolate #1468 — CODE_VERSION A/B on webview suites (not for merge) #1475): webview suites on max went from 5/7 jobs failing to 7/7 green with this patch; 1.122.0 control stayed green. No version pin needed — CI keeps testing current VS Code.

The investigation and this fix were done with the help of Claude Code; every claim above is backed by a measurement (see #1468).

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR updates two dependencies, reformats RestMethodDefinitions, and skips two Tests View integration suites because of a Citrus 5.0.0 and Camel JBang compatibility failure.

Changes

Maintenance updates

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Dependency version updates package.json	@kaoto/camel-catalog updates to ^0.7.0. vscode-extension-tester uses a Yarn patch dependency targeting 8.24.0.
Type formatting and test compatibility src/services/openapi-import.service.ts, it-tests/views/11_TestsViewNewFile.test.ts, it-tests/views/12_TestsViewRun.test.ts	RestMethodDefinitions keeps the same members in a single-line union. Both Tests View suites are skipped until the Citrus and Camel JBang incompatibility is resolved.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

• Integration tests: CI failure triage grouped by root cause (from #1464 ExTester 8.24.0 bump) #1466: Pins vscode-extension-tester to version 8.24.0, which is also updated here.

Poem

I hop through packages, neat and bright,
The catalog grows to a newer height.
Tests pause while Citrus troubles clear,
One tidy union rests right here.

CI triage of the two failure classes on the previous runs — neither was caused by this PR:

1. Infra hiccup (ubuntu, run 31499768731 sibling): died 50 s into setup — [jbang] [ERROR] Could not read artifact descriptor for info.picocli:picocli:jar:4.7.7 — a transient Maven Central blip before any test ran.
2. Citrus tests (3 failures, identical on ubuntu + macOS, both retry attempts, and also present on 1.122.0-pinned runs): upstream breakage, filed as IT: Citrus tests broken by Citrus 5.0.0 / Camel JBang 'camel test' shim mismatch (fails on all branches since 2026-08-04) #1477 — Citrus 5.0.0 (2026-08-04) moved CitrusJBangMain into org.citrusframework.jbang.cli, while Camel JBang's camel test plugin fetches its shim source unversioned and resolves citrus-jbang 4.x, so every camel test init/run fails to compile. Reproduced with the plain CLI, no VS Code involved.

Everything else: 92–93 passing, 0 webview failures — the workaround holds on the full suite.

84071da skips the two broken Citrus suites (describe.skip with a TODO(#1477)) until the upstream mismatch is resolved; 10_TestsView still runs.
