Research direction
No source file or test is named. Reproduce the issue in VS Code 1.101.1 with Amazon Q 1.77.0 by disabling Agentic Coding and prompting for code logic, then trace the extension's prompt and file-modification flow. Done means that turning Agentic Coding off prevents any files from being modified.
