To be fair, looks like a PM vibe coded it and this person “just” gave it an approval with no comments after an LLM review.

To be fair, that makes it worse for MS, not better.
This should not be vibe-coded by someone who has absolutely no idea about any of these things.

Oh yeah sorry, I was being sarcastic. I think it’s hilariously bad, but I also avoid MS products like the plague as a rule.
Here's one:
I think a senior sysadmin needs to sit you down in their office and have a very serious talk with you about the responsibility that comes with writing code other people run. I am serious. We used to have these talks with everyone who got sudo access. You shouldn't be shipping code if you don't understand the trust that is required of people in your position.
This isn't just about this "feature" being active when AI features are disabled, the way you mis-implemented this has resulted in it modifying the commit message with the user even seeing it! That is malicious behavior, not an innocent little feature "to make life easier".
I've fully switched off of VS Code to Kate now, which is faster and better behaved in most cases anyway. Bye.
