this would be great to get in for the node version update. the currently used Node v24.15.0 can cause issues with extensions for Yarn PnP users, depending on your Yarn version.

453 insignificant change(s) omitted (≤20 px, Δ≤2). See CI logs for details.

Node 24.16+ made Readable pause()/resume() a no-op on destroyed streams which makes yauzl 2.x / extract-zip 2.x and older playwright extraction hang forever. - extensions/copilot: add "yauzl": "^3.3.1" override (was missed by #318682) so electron and @vscode/vsce no longer resolve the broken yauzl 2.10, fixing the hung `npm ci` in the Copilot and Extract chat-lib pipelines. - extensions/copilot: bump electron ^39.8.5 -> ^42.5.0 so its install script uses the native @electron-internal/extract-zip instead of extract-zip. - bump @playwright/test ^1.56.1 -> ^1.61.1 so `playwright install` uses the fixed extractor, unblocking the "Download Electron and Playwright" step in all electron test pipelines.

On macOS CI, the AgentHost sandbox smoke test resolves the shell to /bin/sh, which uses the sentinel-based completion path. In that path, the parser could consume the echoed sentinel command text (`<<<COPILOT_SENTINEL_..._EXIT_$?>>>`) before the real numeric marker arrived, causing a false `Exit code: -1` failure even though the command later completed successfully. Harden the sentinel parser to ignore echoed/non-numeric sentinel text and use the latest complete numeric marker instead. Also force the macOS AgentHost sandbox smoke test to use /bin/sh and assert that in the suite log so local runs exercise the same path as CI. Adds a regression test for echoed sentinel command text.
