+# bugfix-838 — duplicate / debug-looking command titles
+
+## Investigation
+
+Issue #838: three `contributes.commands` in `packages/vscode/package.json`
+render badly on the Feature Contributions tab:
+
+- `codev.openBuilderTerminal` (visible) and `codev.openBuilderById`
+  (palette-hidden via `when:false`) both had title
+  `"Codev: Open Builder Terminal"` — two indistinguishable lines.
+- `codev.openBuilderRow` (palette-hidden) had
+  `"Codev: Open Builder Terminal (and expand row)"` — reads like a debug
+  note.
+
+Feature Contributions tab lists every declared command regardless of
+`commandPalette` `when:false`, so palette-hidden commands surface there too.
+
+## Fix
+
+Adopted the issue's suggested `Codev (internal): …` prefix for the two
+palette-hidden commands so anyone reading the contributions list can
+distinguish user-callable from internal at a glance:
+
+- `codev.openBuilderById` → `Codev (internal): Open Builder Terminal by ID`
+- `codev.openBuilderRow`  → `Codev (internal): Open Builder Terminal and Expand Row`
+
+`codev.openBuilderTerminal` (the user-callable one) keeps its existing title.
+
+## Regression test
+
+Added `packages/vscode/src/__tests__/contributes-commands.test.ts`:
+
+1. No two `contributes.commands` share a title.
+2. No title contains the `(and ...)` debug-note pattern.
+
+Both fail against pre-fix package.json (verified via `git stash`); both
+pass after the fix.
+
+## Scope
+
+Single-file behavioral change + one new test file. ~6 lines net in
+package.json, ~30 lines test. Well under BUGFIX's 300 LOC ceiling.
