Other devs on my team have reported similar bugs with the same console/window output as shown above
I have the same problem. I can create and edit files manually via the VS Code interface and terminal, but any attempt to create or edit a file using the extension/API fails with the following error: Error: Unable to resolve nonexistent file 'c:\Users\i_yangirov\Desktop\logs\created_by_ai.txt'
