[docs] What's new in Aspire 13.5 — VS Code extension v1.14.0

[aspire-repo-bot]

Documents changes from microsoft/aspire#17969 (@aspire-repo-bot, merged by @adamint).

Targeting release/13.5 based on the source PR milestone 13.5 (exact match on microsoft/aspire.dev).

Why this PR is needed

The VS Code extension release preparation PR (microsoft/aspire#17969) bumped the extension to v1.14.0 and added a user-facing CHANGELOG entry covering new features, security hardening, and a security-advisory dependency update. The pr_body_has_security_marker signal fired because the PR body explicitly lists a [security] bullet for npm dependency updates. The "What's new in Aspire 13.5" page did not exist yet on the release/13.5 branch.

What was changed

• Created src/frontend/src/content/docs/whats-new/aspire-13-5.mdx — new What's New page documenting:

  • Bun debugging support for Bun services running under Aspire
  • Improved parameter display (secrets masked, long values truncated, missing values shown explicitly)
  • Shell injection hardening via structured shell quoting for Aspire CLI arguments
  • npm security dependency updates (undici, ws, fast-uri, qs, @nevware21/ts-utils)
  • AppHost discovery flood fix
  • Compatibility error display when AppHost returns empty describe output

• Modified src/frontend/config/sidebar/docs.topics.ts — added Aspire 13.5 entry before Aspire 13.4 in the What's new sidebar section.

[automated docs-from-code review]

I tried to verify this PR's claims against microsoft/aspire, but there is no matching release/13.5 branch in microsoft/aspire yet.

• This PR targets release/13.5 in microsoft/aspire.dev.
• The latest release/* branch in microsoft/aspire is release/13.4 (HEAD 4f2189335 — Fix persistent container endpoint allocation (#17960), 2026-06-05).
• The source PR (microsoft/aspire#17969) merged into main, not into a release/13.5 branch.

My review protocol uses the matching release branch as the only source of truth, and I'm not allowed to verify a release/13.5 docs page against main (which can drift from what eventually ships in 13.5). I'll re-run automatically once release/13.5 is cut in microsoft/aspire, at which point I can verify each VS Code extension v1.14.0 claim against the actual snapshot.

Skipping Phase B (doc-tester) as well, per the same rule.
