Which tool and which model? Those make a significant difference here.

Well, for such a trivial feature, e.g. loading user settings it actually should not matter, as this too, is a problem we solved decades ago in many deterministic ways. But if it does, then we have an extremely fragile technology being promised as solution to all the humanitys problems. The tool we use is Github Copilot with the entire model offering. Out of which we mostly use Claude Sonnet 4. Since over the last several months they started entshittifying it though, as you are probably aware, we reverted from agent mode to mainly using it just as an annoying and verbose replacement for the entshittifed google search.
