Analysis

Looking at the similar patch failures, there's a clear pattern: all cases involve malformed patch files that "end unexpectedly in middle of line" causing patch application to fail. The consistent solution across all examples is to remove the problematic patch files entirely and clean up the patch application pipeline. In Fix Example #0, the malformed vllm-remove-cmake.patch was fixed by adding a missing newline at the end. In Fix Examples #1 and #2 (both opensearch), multiple malformed patches (ingest-attachment.patch, bouncycastle.patch, security-plugin-GHSA-vgq5-3255-v292.patch) were completely removed from both the filesystem and the patch pipeline, with the underlying version being updated to eliminate the need for those patches.

Explanation

Based on the pattern from similar fixes, the root cause is a malformed patch file that doesn't end properly with a newline character. The current error shows the patch is trying to apply to lib/vscode/package.json but fails because it 'unexpectedly ends in middle of line'. The fix involves two approaches: 1) Add validation to check and fix patch files that don't end with proper newlines before applying them, and 2) As a fallback, temporarily remove the problematic patch step to allow the build to proceed. The validation step will automatically fix patch files missing newlines, which is the most common cause of this specific error. If the patches contain security fixes that are critical, they should be recreated with proper formatting, but the immediate fix is to ensure proper line endings.

Alternative Approaches

• Completely remove all patch files and the patch application steps, then update the package version to the latest upstream release that may have incorporated the fixes natively
• Manually inspect and fix each patch file by ensuring they end with proper newlines and have correct diff formatting
• Replace the patch files with sed/awk commands that make the same changes programmatically without relying on patch files
• Split the large patch step into individual patch applications to isolate which specific patch is causing the failure

OK, this one is going to be complicated to resolve. code-server has updated to use vscode 1.107.0 (coder/code-server@ea9a3a5) which includes a series of commits to the microsoft-authenticator extension which I don't fully understand, but which seem to remove the option of a Node-native authentication method in favour of msal-node: this pulls in msal-node-runtime (npm) which ships libmsalruntime.so: this is pre-compiled (that's a problem) and causes SCA to generate dependencies on several libraries we don't have packaged (including so:libwebkit2gtk-4.1.so.0, suggesting it includes a whole browser stack). Further complicating matters, I don't believe we could build this ourselves: https://www.npmjs.com/package/@azure/msal-node-runtime points at https://github.com/AzureAD/microsoft-authentication-library-for-cpp as its upstream, which no longer exists.

This problem does only surface on x86_64: it doesn't look like msal-node-runtime ships a .so for any architecture but x86_64, so it's possible that (a) aarch64 is simply broken due to this absence, or (b) aarch64 isn't broken and we could maybe hack at x86_64 to get it to behave the same as aarch64. microsoft/vscode#278689 looks like the relevant change we would need to potentially revert or modify.
