Not having extensions alone already means it's not the full experience. How many people run vanilla VS Code?

Can I run unit tests? Debug?

It does have extensions[1]. It just might not be able to run _all_ extensions.

[1] From the link: "Inside of a codespace, you’ll have access to the Visual Studio Code Marketplace, and you can preload any extensions you want loaded at launch using a devcontainer configuration file. You can also personalize your codespace by pulling in dotfiles."

The article notes near the top that extensions are supported, and also answers your other questions.

Are extensions not allowed?
