Why
The 1.126 release deprecates the
chat.editMode.hiddensetting, so the built-in Edit chat mode is no longer surfaced in most scenarios. The release notes' "Deprecated features and settings" section was empty ("None."), leaving users without guidance, especially those who may still encounter Edit mode in fallback paths.What
Replaces the empty deprecation section in
release-notes/v1_126.mdwith an "Edit mode" entry that:chat.editMode.hiddensetting deprecation and recommends Agent mode as the replacement.ChatMode.Editis still registered for backward compatibility.chat.agent.enabledis policy-disabled (the mode picker falls back to built-in Edit).setChatMode('edit'),workbench.action.chat.newEditSession) can still select it.Docs-only change.
