Feature request
Avoid opening every edited file as a persistent editor tab when the agent makes changes.
Problem
After an editing-heavy agent run, VS Code can be left with a very large number of open tabs because each edited file gets opened.
This creates a lot of tab clutter and makes the workspace harder to use after the agent finishes.
Requested behavior
Please add an option so that edited files do not all remain open as tabs.
Possible approaches:
- perform edits without opening persistent tabs where possible
- use preview editors instead of pinned tabs
- auto-close tabs opened only for agent-applied edits
- add a setting controlling this behavior
Ideal outcome
The agent can still edit files normally, but the user is not left with dozens of open tabs after the run.
Related but different
This is different from showing a list of modified files in the UI. There is already a separate request around surfacing edited-file lists near the input. This request is specifically about preventing tab explosion during agent edits.
