VS Code inserting 'Co-Authored-by Copilot' into commits regardless of usage

TELEMETRY SUMMARY DECRYPTION

SITREP: Visual Studio Code is automatically inserting 'Co-Authored-by Copilot' into commit messages without user consent or usage. This behavior has raised concerns among developers regarding the integrity of commit history. TACTICAL ASSESSMENT: The automatic insertion of co-authorship may lead to confusion about contributions and could undermine trust in version control systems. This incident highlights potential issues with software autonomy and user control in collaborative environments. PROJECTED VECTORS: Future updates may address this issue, but if left unresolved, it could lead to increased dissatisfaction among users and potential migration to alternative platforms.
