Moderate signal
editorial:auto 1h

The VSCode MCP server configuration schema has been moved to a top‑level 'servers' key, breaking previous placement inside the 'mcp' object.

Why it matters: Existing configurations referencing `mcp.servers` will fail; update config files before upgrading to v1.4.0.
