`Integration.code-workspace` is a generated file. The source of truth is `Integration.code-workspace.tpl.json` at the project root.

**Why:** Edits to the generated `.code-workspace` get blown away the next time the workspace is regenerated, silently losing the change.

**How to apply:** Whenever a settings change needs to land in the VS Code workspace (e.g., `clangd.path`, `clangd.arguments`, file associations), edit `Integration.code-workspace.tpl.json`. Don't touch `Integration.code-workspace` directly.
