Research direction
Start by locating the TypeScript CodeEditor entry point and inspect how the env var and code editors render their gutters. Determine how an optional baseline value can be compared with the current text; the work is done when per-line gutter indicators appear for changed lines and remain absent when the feature is disabled.
