Research direction
Start by reproducing the macOS command sequence Cmd+v i 123 Esc u in VSCodeVim and compare it with the expected two-step undo behavior. Trace the undo handling for normal-mode paste and insert-mode changes, then add or update coverage showing that the pasted text and typed text undo separately.
