Possibly related: if you are interested in the strategy for VS Code version releases, check out the thread on here VSCode Version 1.83 / Cursor - #29 by truell20
Quoting from the last reply in that thread, from @truell20:
In the future, our current plan is to merge in VSCode releases as soon as they launch instead of pinning to an old version like we did before. Though, this is subject to change if ends up causing problems for people.
