 .SYNOPSIS
-  Builds both the VSCode extension and the standalone Windows exe.
-
-.DESCRIPTION
-  - Extension: tsc compile -> out/extension.js
-  - Standalone: go build -> standalone/hpl-toolbox.exe (single static binary)
-
-  Optionally packages the extension as a .vsix with -Package.
+  Builds both the VSCode extension (.vsix) and the standalone Windows exe.
+  Both artifacts land in dist/.
 
 .EXAMPLE
   .\build.ps1
-  .\build.ps1 -Package
   .\build.ps1 -Standalone   # Skip the extension; build only the exe
-  .\build.ps1 -Extension    # Skip the standalone; build only the extension
+  .\build.ps1 -Extension    # Skip the standalone; build only the .vsix
