> It's perfectly fine to not trust the folder, you'll just enter restricted mode that will protect you and certain things will be degraded like language servers may not run, you don't be able to debug (executes code in vscode/launch.json), etc.
This is the main problem with that dialog: It’s completely unclear to me, as a user, what will and will not happen if I trust a workspace.
I treat the selection as meaning that I’m going to have nothing more than a basic text editor if I don’t trust the workspace. That’s fine for some situations, but eventually I want to do something with the code. Then my only options are to trust everything and open the possibility of something (?) bad happening, or not do any work at all. There’s no visibility into what’s happening, no indication of what might happen, just a vague warning that I’m now on my own with no guardrails or visibility. Good luck.
