Anyone have tips on using VSCode with xcworkspace files for Copilot support? Is it worth the effort? The code is mostly in Swift.

I agree, all that needs to be in the commit messages are the ticket numbers. Everything else can then be researched through a combination of looking at those tickets and searching PRs for those ticket numbers.
