That’s not at all what the PR did. Or at least that wasn’t the intention.

This PR changes the Git extension’s git.addAICoAuthor setting so that AI co-author trailers are enabled by default, making the default behavior automatically add a Co-authored-by trailer when AI-generated code contributions are detected.

Use Codium - it’s exactly VSCode without all the MicroSlop

  The issue is its still based on VSC, and thus still has all the same AI “chat” buttons and shit hardcoded into it.
