🤖 Aspire triage pass — 2026-06-20 12:32 UTC

Area: area-vscode-extension
Kind: test-failure (test infrastructure — pinned VS Code version is stale)
Repro: partial — links to a CI run log; no local repro steps but the warning message is reproducible from the linked job
Affected version(s): VS Code E2E test runner pinned at 1.122.1; latest stable 1.125.1 (per the warning in the linked job log)
Severity: S4 — polish/maintenance; tests still execute, only the pinned VS Code version is behind upstream stable

Urgency: ⚪ backlog — no milestone
Reason: S4 maintenance ask on E2E test infra; not a regression, no user-facing impact, no scenario broken.
