Summary of the new feature

At the moment, ISE Mode could be enabled globally, changing the global VSCode settings.
User should be able to enable it at the workspace scope, so that global settings are not changed, and only certain workspace is affected.

Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by locating the existing ISE Mode implementation and how it writes global VS Code settings, then inspect the extension's workspace configuration handling. Done means ISE Mode can be enabled for one workspace without changing global settings, while existing global behavior remains intact.
