Can you please avoid using this rather complex and obscure fix?

I've simplified the implementation to avoid the complex monkey-patching approach. The solution now uses a single toggle command with an improved icon (eye-watch) and clearer title, removing all the prototype manipulation and separate show/hide commands. This is much more straightforward and maintainable. (056b0c5)

Code is a bit too complex of a patch for such a small enhancement. |

The "Toggle App Setting Visibility" icon was not changing to reflect the current visibility state of app settings. The icon remained static as
$(eye)regardless of whether values were hidden or visible, making it unclear what action would be performed when clicked.Problem
$(eye)even after toggling visibilitySolution
This PR implements a dynamic icon system that accurately reflects the current state:
$(eye)): Shown when value is hidden - click to reveal$(eye-closed)): Shown when value is visible - click to hideTechnical Implementation
AppSettingTreeItem.prototype.contextValueto include visibility state (;hiddenor;visible)Before/After
Before: Static eye icon regardless of state
After: Dynamic icons that reflect current state
The solution uses a clever monkey-patching approach to extend the external
@microsoft/vscode-azext-azureappsettingspackage's behavior without modifying its source code, ensuring compatibility and maintainability.Fixes #4563.
