Notes

• The vscode-extension/README.md already contained Generate Instructions (All Roots) and claude-sonnet-4.6 — no changes needed there.

• Only CHANGELOG.md required updates.

+- **`--dry-run` on `instructions` command** — Preview what files would be generated without writing anything to disk. Works across all code paths (nested root, flat root, nested area, flat area). With `--json`, emits a unified `dryRunFiles` array with file paths and byte counts. ([#55](https://github.com/microsoft/agentrc/pull/55))
+- **VS Code: Batch Instructions (`AgentRC: Generate Instructions (All Roots)`)** — New command for multi-root workspaces that generates instructions for every workspace root in one pass. Respects per-root `agentrc.config.json` strategy. Only visible when `workspaceFolderCount > 1`. ([#55](https://github.com/microsoft/agentrc/pull/55))
+- **VS Code: Multi-root workspace support** — All extension commands now use `pickWorkspacePath()` showing a QuickPick when multiple roots are open. Single-root workspaces return immediately
