Microsoft made Copilot a co-author on every VS Code project, reverted after developers revolted

Microsoft quietly pushed a pull request that made Copilot a co-author on every VS Code commit, even for developers who had disabled all AI features. After heavy backlash, the company called it a bug, but critics aren't buying it. A fix is coming that will only add Copilot attribution when AI features are actually used, with explicit consent required.
