      We should look into adding a deprecation notice and/or removing our Copilot Extension mentions and updating our docs for VSCode. We could use this opportunity to direct people to use the MCP server. Since it'll completely stop working Nov 10, it might best to just remove the docs altogether; whatever you feel is best. Here's the GitHub blog for context and their recommendations:

      The deprecation of Copilot Extensions is rather destructive so this functionality is going to be completely broken soon (Nov 3-7 temporary disruption; Nov 10 complete sunsetting), we should look into removing our Copilot Extension mentions and updating our docs for VSCode to include a notice about this deprecation. We could use this opportunity to direct people to use the MCP server.
