Clone this project, and open it in Nova.
Run yarn in a terminal to install dependencies.
Run the Development task to build scripts and auto-rebuild on file changes.
Turn on extension development in Nova in Preferences > General > Extension Development. If you've installed the extension from the Extension Library, disable it, then activate the local one with Extensions > Activate Project as Extension.
To debug the underlying language server, modify the run.sh file to use the --inspect flag and use your preferred inspector to debug.
Use the Extension Console in Nova to debug the extension. I haven't found a way to get a debugger attached to the JavaScriptCore context.
The extension relies on local copies of json-language-server. To avoid a large bundled extension size (Panic has a limit, you'll get 500 errors when submitting above ~50mb) these are locked with a shrinkwrap file.
To update, install locally in the json.novaextension directory, then run npm shrinkwrap.
All user-facing changes should be documented in CHANGELOG.md.

Always run yarn build first, so the json.novaextension/node_modules directory is cleared.
Replace future in the changelog with a new version, following semver. Update the version in the bug report template, package.json, and extension manifest.
