what do colors mean?
- Green: Lines that have been added.
- Blue: Lines that have been modified.
- Red: Lines that have been removed (often shown as a marker where the line was deleted).

Crappy behavior of copilot
- Enables a whole bunch of gutters to show differences
- They won't go away whether you save the file or not
- Keep and undo sometimes don't seem to work at all
- Restarting the vscode seem to help
- The changes based on prompt are very unreliable (suggestion is use o3... related reasoning models)

inline vs chat edit modes
- inline updates based on prompts seem even more unreliable
- chat mode in edit mode... seem a touch better
