VS Code released an agentic update... that doesn’t work

Just recently I wrote that I always work on at most two projects at once. And the very next day, a VS Code update added a feature called Agents, which changes the workflow for working on projects. Instead of switching between two open VS Code editors, there is now just one window where you orchestrate agents doing work across multiple projects. It sounds great... except that on the first try, the agent got stuck halfway through and wasn’t able to finish the task. It started it and then froze. On repeated attempts, it wasn’t able to get going again. Maybe just a glitch. But if it works, it looks very promising.
