Correct the extension ID casing from "legalfina" to "Legalfina".

The extension exists and is actively maintained on the VS Code Marketplace, but the identifier uses incorrect casing. Change "legalfina.npm-version-lens" to "Legalfina.npm-version-lens" (capital 'L'). VS Code extension IDs are case-sensitive and must match the marketplace listing exactly.

In @.vscode/extensions.json at line 7, Update the extension ID string in the VS
Code extensions list: replace the incorrect lowercase identifier
"legalfina.npm-version-lens" with the proper-cased "Legalfina.npm-version-lens"
so the entry in the JSON matches the Marketplace listing exactly; edit the value
in the extensions array where the string "legalfina.npm-version-lens" appears.
