It would be tricky, yes, since it depends on core editor functionality which is not exposed through the API.

So why did this feature get rushed out without proper testing? Are you claiming that not having this happen automatically for the commits where Copilot actually co-authored them is so urgent that it was necessary?
I'd argue that this was extremely non-urgent and the fact that this got rushed so sloppily is a giant red flag about the priorities of you and your team. You asked about constructive criticism, and yet you're also acting like this is a one-off innocent mistake by only addressing what you've done to roll this back for now and address the immediate issue. I don't buy the premise that we could trust that this was a mistake made in good faith when it's something that you clearly should have known people would be so upset about if you got it wrong.
