| Case | Documented state | Your observation |
| --- | --- | --- |
| VS Code inline / Chat | Supported with applicable policy | Untested |
| IDE Edit / Agent | Not supported | Untested |
| Copilot CLI | Listed as supported | Untested |
| Symlink or remote filesystem | Exclusion limitation | Untested |
| Indirect type/context | May remain available | Untested |

## Review checklist

- [ ] Identify the effective policy and mode
  Record plan, seat, rule owner, editor/client and repository location.
- [ ] Keep provider support and observed output apart
  A documented feature is not a completed test in your organisation.
- [ ] Review indirect context with synthetic types
  Do not use proprietary type definitions or real repository paths in the fixture.
