Research direction

Start by reproducing the Agentic Coding workflow in Visual Studio Code on Windows 11: make an agent change, then select “Undo all changes.” Trace the undo-all-changes entry point and verify whether the original files remain available. Done means affected files are not lost and a recoverable backup is provided.
