Do not advise reuse of retired codepoints.
Line 112 tells maintainers to reclaim retired allocations. That action breaks the reservation guarantee and can silently repoint an existing consumer’s fontCharacter to a different glyph. State that retired values must remain reserved, and require a consumer migration or a new font range when capacity is exhausted.

‼️ IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.

Purpose
fantasticon numbers icons sequentially in glob order, so adding one SVG shifts the codepoint of every icon that sorts after it. Consumers hardcode those codepoints — VS Code's
contributes.iconstakes afontCharacter, not a name — so a shift repoints their icons at whatever glyph moved into the old slot. The icon still renders and nothing fails, which is why this goes unnoticed.It has already happened.
debug.svghas occupied three codepoints in recent history:debug\f1c1holdswso2/ballerina-vscodelast synced its table (2026-03-04)\f1c1debug\f1cbcustommainas of this PR\f1cfcustomThe five icons added since that pin (
bi-azure-files,bi-oracledb,bi-sap,bi-smb,user-fill) account for the last move — four of them sort beforedebug.The visible result was wso2/product-integrator#2288: the Debug button in the editor title bar drew
custom.svg, a crescent with a small circle on it, which reads as a chat icon. Thirteen of that extension's twenty-one entries were pointing at the wrong glyph; three were on commands users actually see. Fixed on the consumer side in ballerina-platform/ballerina-vscode#988, but that only corrects the table — it goes stale again on the next submodule bump. This PR removes the cause.choreo-extensionis insulated only because it still lives in this repo, soconfigurePlugins.jsrewrites itsfontCharacteron every build. Its committed value is stale too (choreo-2is\f1abin git,\f1b7in a fresh build); the build just repairs it before anyone notices. Consumers outside this repo get no such repair.Changes
src/generate-font/codepoints.json(new) — the allocation ledger, seeded with all 383 current icons at exactly the codepointsmainproduces today, sorted by codepoint.src/generate-font/generate-font.js— reads the ledger, gives each new SVG the lowest unused codepoint, writes the file back and prints what it allocated. The map handed to fantasticon covers every icon, so fantasticon has nothing left to renumber.generateFonts({ fontTypes: [], assetTypes: [] })call rather than fromreaddir, because fantasticon derives them from filenames in a way that is not the basename (JSONTransform copy.svg→JSONTransform-copy). Generating nothing makes that call a glob..json/.css/.ts— thejsonandcssgenerators emit whatevercodepointscontains, so passing the ledger wholesale would have advertised retired icons as usable.README.md— aCodepointssection covering the above.Verification
Ran in a clean worktree at
d3dcf45ae0.Nothing moves for anyone. Generated
dist/before and after the change, over the same icons:All seven outputs byte-identical, so no consumer's icons shift as a result of this PR.
Adding an icon no longer renumbers. Dropped in
aaa-probe.svg, which sorts ahead of every existing icon and would previously have taken\f101and pushed all 383 icons along by one:Retirement holds the slot. Deleted
aaa-probe.svgand addedaaa-successor.svg:A duplicate allocation fails the build. Pointed two icons at one codepoint, as a bad merge would:
Notes for consumers
The freeze is at today's
main, which is the only seed that moves nothing for anyone building frommain. A consumer pinned to an older commit still needs one final codepoint re-sync when it next bumps the submodule — after that its table is stable for good.Out of scope here:
configurePlugins.jsstill targetsworkspaces/ballerina/ballerina-extension/package.json, which stopped existing when that extension moved towso2/ballerina-vscode, so every font build printsThat lost sync is what let the drift accumulate unseen. The consumer repo now has its own test asserting its table against the generated font, so the warning is no longer load-bearing — but the dead path is still worth removing.
